Glutamine

A Dietary Supplement

Included in Meritech's product line is Glutamine. Often referred to as the "best sports supplement," glutamine is a nonessential amino acid required to maintain proper functioning of the immune system, brain, liver, kidneys and other key organ systems. For the athlete, glutamine can have added benefits since glutamine not used for essential body functions can be used to promote muscle growth and repair. As an anabolic stimulant, glutamine may actually promote enhanced levels of protein synthesis, increased immune system function and play a positive role in alleviating the so-called "overtraining syndrome."

Though our bodies synthesize glutamine naturally, during times of extreme stress, such as illness or extensive physical activity, glutamine may be required in larger amounts. Since the body can only produce a limited amount of glutamine in a given day, a state of low glutamine in the body may result in high-energy waste and muscle-mass loss. Why? Because building muscle tissue is not the body's main priority when it is in a state of stress, extra glutamine needed to maintain and support essential body functions may actually be obtained by breaking down muscle! That's why hard-training athletes and bodybuilders may especially benefit from glutamine supplementation.

Suggested Use: Glutamine has been found to be safe and nontoxic. For best results, it is recommend that taking an additional 10-20 grams of glutamine daily, along with a high protein diet, can be very beneficial for athletes and bodybuilders. As an adult dietary supplement, take 1 to 2 servings (10 grams each) of glutamine throughout the day; good times to take glutamine include before a workout, directly after a workout and before bed. Simply mix Glutamine with water, juice, a protein shake or other favorite beverage.

After supplementing with glutamine, many athletes comment about results within a week, citing improved energy levels, reduced muscle soreness and less fatigue. Many athletes also achieve success when taking Glutamine with other supplements, such as Meritech's UDA Pure Whey Protein, UDA-45 Meal Replacement, Hi-Pro Pancake Mix, Creatine Infusion System or Creatine Monohydrate.
