What is L-glutamine powder?
L-glutamine is one of 20 amino acids. L-glutamine is a very important amino acid due to the role in plays in maintaining gut health and immune system health. It is considered to be “conditionally essential” which means our need for it increases under certain circumstances and we may need to supplement with it during these times. L-glutamine is very important during times of illness, following physical trauma or extreme exercise. It is also important for those that suffer inflammatory diseases such as Crohns disease.
Is L-glutamine the same as glutamine?
L-glutamine and glutamine are slightly different compounds, and glutamine supplements are always in the form L-glutamine. In terms if the benefits, there is no difference between the two forms.
L-glutamine benefits
Glutamine is the preferred fuel and energy source of the cells that line our gastrointestinal tract. Supplementing with L-glutamine helps maintain the health and integrity of our gut.
L-glutamine assists in repair and recovery after heavy training loads. Heavy training loads including endurance exercise and heavy weight-lifting cause physical trauma to our bodies which needs to be repaired. L-glutamine assists in repair and recovery after heavy training loads.
L-glutamine supports immunity. L-glutamine supplementation positively impacts the production of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) which is an important part of our immune system.
Prolonged endurance exercise increases your likelihood of falling ill. This may be associated with a decrease in blood glutamine levels that occurs immediately following endurance exercise. Taking a L-glutamine supplement decreases the rate at which endurance athletes fall ill with upper respiratory infections.
L-glutamine and leaky gut
Gut health, and therefore our overall health, relies on our gastrointestinal tract being as healthy as possible enabling our physiological systems to run as they should. The health and integrity of the cells that line our gut are imperative to allowing the absorption of nutrients while keeping pathogens from entering our blood stream.
When our gut health declines, we experience chronic inflammation and a decline in glandular cells that produce the digestive enzymes protective mucous. These changes increase the permeability of our digestive tract, and this is sometimes known as leaky gut. Supplementing with L-glutamine improves the integrity of our gut, and can improve leaky gut.
How much is a serve of L-glutamine?
One serve of VPA® pure L-glutamine is 1.9g. One 200g tub of VPA® L-glutamine has 105 serves. We recommend weighing a serve of L-glutamine with microscales to obtain an accurate serving size. If you do not have microscales, a flat standard teaspoon of L-glutamine is around 3.4g. ½ teaspoon will provide around 2g dose.
L-glutamine dosage
The suggested optimal dose of L-glutamine to maintain intestinal health is 5g / day.
What to mix L-glutamine with
L-glutmanine powder comes unflavoured and in its natural form. It has a slightly bitter taste, but most people find that they can take it comfortably in water alone. L-glutamine can also be taken in any other drink including juice, electrolytes or a post workout shake.
When to take L-glutamine
L-glutamine is ideally taken following intense exercise. Alternatively it can be taken daily, at any time of day, to maximise intestinal health.
Amino acid clumping and how to store L-glutamine
The natural properties of amino acids means that they tend to take on moisture. This is why silicon moisture sachets are added during the packing process. Once your L-glutamine is opened it will start to take on moisture and should be stored in a cool dark location to keep it as moisture free as possible. If your L- glutamine starts to clump, rest assured that although it may be more difficult to scoop but it will still work just as well.
Can I get samples of L-glutamine?
Unfortunately, we do not have samples of L-glutamine available.
