THE PROTEIN WORKS Glutamine Glutamine  (500 g, Unflavored)

WHAT IS L GLUTAMINE? Glutamine from The Protein Works™ is selectively and scientifically sourced to ensure we only have the finest quality. Glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid found in the muscles of the body and considered to be a 'must have' supplement for those involved in intense training and exercise. But it’s ours that’s widely praised as being the best in sports nutrition. This is because every pouch that leaves HQ is the sum and substance of thousands of studies. Whether that’s research published in the Journal of Amino Acids, The Journal of Parental and Enteral Nutrition or the Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, we have read and researched them all. L GLUTAMINE AND RECOVERY? Firstly, to appreciate its properties you must first understand what happens to the body during periods of intense training. Whilst at rest your immune system functions efficiently, however research shows that when you train at an intensity higher than 85% of your maximum heart rate (near exhaustion), your oxygen usage vastly increases. This causes lactic acid to accumulate in the muscles, which in turn alters your PH and causes your body to pull alkaline reserves from bones and other mineral dense sources. Furthermore, muscle tissue is torn and muscle energy stores are depleted. All things considered the body has a lot to cope with and this can result in an ‘immune system crash’ which is where the health of the immune system is compromised and can last anywhere between 3 to 72 hours. WHY IS YOUR L GLUTAMINE THE BEST? Here at TPW™, you can have supreme confidence in the product quality and supply source. Each ingredient supplier must pass rigorous audits and checks before being given the TPW™ quality seal of approval. Traceability, quality, and consistency are the three things we demand on every single ingredient. This is our philosophy that flows through every product we manufacture and sets us apart in the world of sports nutrition today.
