Glutavescent (Effervescent Glutamine)

What is Glutamine?

L-Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the intracellular free amino acid pool. Despite the large number of enzymatic reactions that could cause its depletion, it comprises 60% of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle. The importance of glutamine is often underscored by its abundance in every bodily tissue. But this abundance is what makes glutamine so interesting for us, hence something so abundant in muscle and plasma has important functions, especially in where it contains the most.

Take a bodybuilding workout for example. Glutamine concentrations fall markedly after training and seem to remain low until complete recovery. What this means is, the physical stress under what the body of weight training has to recover, leaks now nitrogen carrying glutamine from muscle tissue. In fact, Glutamine’s chemical structure containing two nitrogen side chains, consists of over 20% nitrogen- making it the primary transporter into the muscle cell sites. If not replenished immediately, performance of the Athlete can spiral downward almost instantly. Glutamine has been positively linked to increase protein synthesis by maintaining the muscular glutamine pool, therefore protecting the muscle from being catabolized during post-training recovery phases. Interestingly, athletes that utilize L-glutamine to replenish and hydrate cells often report increased full and roundness to their bodies. This suggests, that L-glutamine may shuttle additional amino acids into muscle cells by facilitating its entry. Much like participating as a special transport system into muscle cells, for the otherwise left out amino acids.

What type of delivery method is best for taking L-Glutamine?

Glutamine is available in both capsules and powdered form. However, recent research suggests that the effervescent method is the most advanced technology in delivering the goods. Most individuals absorb only 1/3 of the powdered or encapsulated form, but when the effervescent method was fused, bioavailability increased tremendously. For those in need of higher dosages the effervescent form is a must. It will be much easier to take as well as considerably less expensive than the encapsulated form. As to Glutavescent, each scoop contains approximately 2.5 grams of Effervescent L-Glutamine. This means if you are on the higher dosage of 15 grams per day to take 4-7 scoops equally spaced throughout the day. The powder can be conveniently mixed with water or your most favorite juice-drink.
