The Science of Recovery: Nitrogen Transport & Cellular Fuel
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body. During intense training, glutamine levels can be significantly depleted, which can impact performance and recovery. Supplementing with L-Glutamine provides targeted support.
- Nitrogen Transporter: Glutamine is a primary transporter of nitrogen into muscle cells. Maintaining a positive nitrogen balance is crucial for creating an environment that supports muscle tissue repair and growth.*
- Immune System Fuel: Glutamine is a key fuel source for cells of the immune system, such as lymphocytes. Intense exercise can temporarily stress the immune system, and glutamine helps to support its healthy function during these periods.*
- Supports Homeostasis: Helps to regulate the body’s pH balance, which is critical for overall fitness and function, especially during strenuous activity.*

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What does “conditionally essential” amino acid mean?
- It means that while your body can produce some glutamine on its own, during times of intense physical stress (like heavy workouts) or illness, the demand for glutamine can exceed your body’s ability to produce it, making supplementation beneficial.
- What does this powder taste like?
- Our L-Glutamine powder is pure and unflavored. It has a very mild, almost neutral taste and dissolves easily, making it perfect for mixing into water, juice, or your post-workout protein shake.
- What is Informed-Sport certification?
- Informed-Sport is a global quality assurance and certification program for sports supplements. The certification means that every batch of this product has been tested for banned substances, giving elite and everyday athletes confidence in its purity and safety.
