    What is glutamine? 

        Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the blood and muscles. It is not an essential amino acid because the body itself is capable of synthesizing it, it is synthesized mainly in the skeletal muscles. 
        Glutamine is particularly essential when the body is subjected to intense sports sessions, or when the body undergoes trauma, burns or infections. A decrease can be noted when the subject is in a state of prolonged stress (injury, sports practice, trauma, inflammation, healing). The latter is then exposed to several infections, the immune system being defective. In this case, glutamine becomes a semi-essential amino acid.

        Like other amino acids, glutamine exists in two different forms

        1. L-glutamine
        2. and D-glutamine.

        Although they are almost identical, there is a small difference in their molecular structure. L-glutamine is the form found in foods and dietary supplements rich in glutamine. It is synthesized from glutamic acid, which is obtained by catabolism of other amino acids.

        However, some foods are really important sources of glutamine. These include dairy products, legumes, cereals, meat and fish. Eating these foods will therefore promote the production of this amino acid. You can also consult our top 10 foods for bodybuilding.

        Glutamine has many scientifically proven roles. Don't think that athletes are the only ones concerned by taking glutamine, the positive effects on the immune system and the intestinal wall are for everyone.

        The benefits of glutamine

        1. Better recovery

        This is often the first argument we hear about taking glutamine: better recovery. This is mainly due to glutamine's ability to improve the replenishment of muscle glycogen stores. Glycogen is the carbohydrate stores in the muscle cells, in other words an energy reserve for your muscles.

        Many studies have shown the impact of glutamine on the speed of replenishing muscle glycogen. This first advantage ensures that sportsmen and women are able to carry on with intense training sessions.

        2. Increased protein synthesis

        Like all other amino acids, glutamine serves as a substrate for the formation of proteins. These are necessary for the functioning of muscles. Without this amino acid, it is almost impossible to perform certain movements.

        L-glutamine participates in the development of muscle tissue by promoting protein synthesis and amplifying the action of Leucine. For this reason, it has an anabolic effect. This means that it promotes an important secretion of proteins and muscle cells. 

        The anabolic effects of glutamine are not associated exclusively with its action on protein synthesis, but also with an increase in the production of natural growth hormone, and the ability to lower cortisol levels to increase glycogen stores in the muscles.

        It can be noted that glutamine-rich supplements and BCAAs work together for protein synthesis and muscle mass gain.

        3. Cartilage and tendon repair


        Glutamine is responsible for the production of glucosamine. This one intervenes at the level of the cartilages and tendons of the muscles of which it facilitates the reconstruction. A good concentration of glutamine in the muscles thus ensures their solidity and their resistance. Moreover, the chances of rapid recovery in case of muscular injuries are very high.

        4. Protection of the immune system

        An increase in glutamine in the muscles also reduces the risk of leucine oxidation. The formation of free radicals is therefore no longer possible, just like the destruction of cells. The organism benefits from a better protection. On the other hand, a glutamine deficiency also leads to an imbalance in the immune system, fatigue, and can cause various infections (the intestinal wall becomes weaker).

        It should be noted that glutamine supplementation is used in hospitals in cases of chemotherapy or other treatments because it plays a positive role on the body.

        5. Maintains the integrity of the intestinal wall

        Glutamine is an amino acid that helps to correct porosity problems in the intestine. This improves the digestion process and facilitates the sorting out of this exchange wall. Glutamine plays a very important role in maintaining the integrity of the body.
        Glutamine is the best source of energy for the enterocytes (cells of the small intestine) and for the white blood cells.

        6. Maintenance of acid-base balance

        In addition, glutamine is important for maintaining the acid-base balance in the blood. It helps fight against the acidity of the body's pH, often due to poor nutrition and sustained physical activity.
        It also helps slow down the aging of the skin and improves the quality of sleep.

        Glutamine dedicated to athletes? 

        Due to the intensity of the exercises they undergo, athletes may need glutamine supplementation, so we can associate different sports: glutamine for bodybuilding or glutamine for endurance. Indeed, a high level of physical activity causes a significant drop in glutamine levels, which weakens the body to a certain extent. An intake of glutamine therefore provides a significant amount of energy during the session.
        The high concentration of glutamine in muscle tissue helps reduce muscle pain and recovery after intense physical effort. It goes without saying that glutamine and recovery go hand in hand.

        When to take it?

         Taking glutamine is mostly recommended after a sports session for its various benefits such as recovery and protein synthesis. 

        Some professional athletes use it before and during sport to alleviate fatigue found.
