Solgar L-glutamine 1000 mg 60 Tablets Mental and Physical Performance Support Amino Acid Solgar L-Glutamine Health Applications - Mental Stimulant - Memory Enhancer - Athlete Support - Athletic Performance - Digestive System Support - Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers - Immune Support Solgar L-Glutamine Usage Recommendation The recommended daily dose of L-Glutamine is 500-5000 mg. Solgar L-Glutamine 1000 mg tablets per day should be taken one or two (1-2) preferably before meals. Packaging: 60 Tablets Solgar L-Glutamine Overview: L-Glutamine is the most widely used amino acid in the body, constituting 20 of the total amino acid amount. It constitutes 60 of the amino acids found in skeletal muscles. Although it is the most common amino acid and can be synthesized in the body, it is considered essential in some cases. In the presence of stress and during excessive exercise, the body's need for L-Glutamine far exceeds its synthesis capacity. In order to meet this need, external support is required. L-Glutamine is found in animal sources such as cheddar cheese, turkey, tuna, cod, haddock, as well as in soy protein, cabbage and spirulina. L-Glutamine is the main fuel of the digestive system, immune system and brain cells. Mental Health: Glutamine crosses the blood-brain barrier and converts to glutamic acid, which is necessary for the proper functioning of brain functions. Glutamic acid, in addition to providing energy to the brain, plays a role in mental stimulation and memory strengthening. Glutamine also increases the amount of GABA (gamma-amino butyric acid), which is necessary for the continuity of mental activity and proper brain functions. Athletic Performance Glutamine is known to improve nitrogen transport, increase protein synthesis, and reduce the excretion of 3-mytylcysteine, a marker of muscle catabolism. Some studies suggest that glutamine can increase human growth hormone. This theoretically accelerates muscle development and supports increased endurance and strength in athletes. Glutamine supplementation helps to go through intense and long training seasons with less risk of infection and a stronger immune system. Studies have shown that L-Glutamine stimulates glycogen storage in the muscles. This is indicated as an advantage for athletes who need glycogen stores, the most important energy fuel, to ensure endurance. Intestinal System Complaints The gastrointestinal system has the tissues that contain and use the most glutamine in the body. Cells in the intestinal epithelial tissue use glutamine as metabolic fuel. Glutamine is needed to regulate cell renewal in the intestines. Studies have shown that various digestive It has been shown that it can improve mucosal atrophy caused by problems. It is also known that L-Glutamine improves intestinal barrier functions, prevents the passage of foreign substances to the intestinal wall and is effective in keeping intestinal permeability under control. Glutamine is abundant in cabbage juice. It is because it is a source of glutamine that cabbage juice helps patients with gastritis and gastric ulcers. In a double-blind study, patients using 400 mg L-Glutamine 4 times a day achieved healing in ulcer wounds in as little as 4 weeks. Immune Support and Healing The gastrointestinal system has a large number of immune cells, including fibroblasts, lymphocytes and macrophages. Glutamine is a key ingredient of both lymphocytes and macrophages, and is essential for the integrity of the immune system. The completion of healing of surgical wounds, trauma wounds and burns is achieved through these immune cells. Glutamine serves as a metabolic fuel for growth and proliferation, ensuring the proper functions of immune cells. Therefore, when the intracellular glutamine concentration decreases Cell growth slows down and healing time is prolonged. Studies have concluded that glutamine levels decrease in some patient groups (stress due to catabolism), and this may increase the frequency of infection.
