Sports Nutrition - Glutamine And Its Usage In Exercises.

Glutamine, is actively used by cells of the immune system during stress. If you systematically experience stress, including stress from intensive training, then you need to eat from 20-25 grams of glutamine every day in small portions of 4-5 grams. The amino acid composition of our body is 50% glutamine.
You can replenish the reserves of glutamine with the help of sports nutrition products, and, in particular, whey protein. In every 100 grams of serum contains about 6 grams of glutamine. Another source of glutamine can serve as casein protein. With its help you can get from 8-10 grams of protein for every 100 grams.
Peptid-bound glutamine has a higher quality in comparison with L-glutamine or with glutamine in free form. After all, amino acids in free form are very unstable in the aqueous medium, during thermal exposure and with changes in the acidity of the medium (pH). Peptide-linked glutamine means a peptide chain linked to a minimum with one more amino acid. It effectively counteracts the effects of adverse effects of heat and acidic environment, significantly exceeding its unrelated form in stability.

In addition, peptidically-bound glutamine is absorbed by the body in a more orderly way, unlike free forms, since the latter invariably begin to compete with each other for the ability to be absorbed by the body. The fact that peptidically bound glutamine is the most effective is also confirmed by the results of studies that showed that this type of glutamine is 10 times better than L-glutamine.

Foods high in protein (milk, fish, legumes, beef, eggs, etc.) are wonderful sources to maintain normal glutamine levels in the body. But still the best option is taking glutamine additionally! Scientifically proven that the more glutamine in the body, the more successfully the protein is synthesized in the muscles.

It is important to remember that during cooking, a significant portion of glutamine is destroyed. From products of vegetable origin, the best sources of glutamine are peppercorn and fresh spinach.

Studies have confirmed that even high dosages when taking glutamine do not cause any side effects.
