AST® GL3 – Micronized L- Glutamine 18.52 oz. is an excellent source of L-Glutamine in its powdered form. Recent studies have shown that glutamine makes a significant contribution to protein synthesis or muscle growth. It has also been shown to possess anti-proteolytic properties, which means it prevents the breakdown of muscle tissue while simultaneously enhancing growth hormone functions.

Glutamine is the only substance that handles more than 35% of the nitrogen entering the muscle. This makes Glutamine a crucial factor in muscle metabolism – a property that cannot be seen in any other amino acid. AST® GL3 – Micronized L- Glutamine 18.52 oz. boosts this property by making it easy for the body to absorb glutamine for maximum efficiency. AST® GL3 – Micronized L- Glutamine 18.52 oz. is made of pure, pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine in a powder free of taste and scent.

As reported in a recent publication of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, studies on glutamine have shown that even a dose as small as 2 grams can elevate the circulating growth hormone levels to more than 430%! With this improved production of growth hormones, it is easier to fight off the catabolic effects of strenuous weight training and physical activity. An elevation in growth hormone levels means an enhanced amino acid and glucose intake, sustained nitrogen retention in the body, and increased lean tissue protein development. Supplementing with glutamine from AST® GL3 – Micronized L- Glutamine 18.52 oz. is an ideal method of facilitating new muscle growth!
