During periods of physical stress, the quantities of glutamine produced by our body may not be sufficient to meet metabolic demands: after training or a race, plasma and muscle glutamine undergoes a decrease and its integration could especially favor post-workout recovery times. activities to rebalance metabolic and energetic muscle functions.

In fact, glutamine participates in protein synthesis and helps to increase muscle cell volume by attracting water and electrolytes into the muscle cells. After intense physical training, the muscle can lose, due to protein catabolism, up to 40% of its glutamine reserve with consequent reduction in muscle mass. In conditions of physical stress or illness and especially under intense muscular training, the muscle can produce lactic acid and ammonia, a toxic substance that Glutamine itself is responsible for eliminating. It is therefore clear how important correct glutamine integration is.
