What is Glutamine?

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and plays a vital role in supporting muscle repair and construction, as well as supporting many other important functions.

Garnell Nutrition were pioneers in promoting Glutamine supplementation all the way back to 1998, well before the rest of the world realised its potential and we are pleased to say that our work helping to incorporate Glutamine into the diet when training for “lean growth” paid dividends when assisting Peter Chown with his nutritional diet for both strength training and while dieting, leading him to become Natural World Champion and Mr Universe, today conveying his experience as a top level personal trainer & Garnell Nutrition ambassador.

Glutamine is now used by many athletes and sports people, across a wide sector of activities and has been shown to aid recovery and muscle repair and can increase levels of growth hormone, increase anabolic effects and also enhance protein synthesis.

Another key role of Glutamine is supporting the immune function (which is of particular importance to those engaging in heavy weight training or any physically demanding sport). Highly recommended to add to your post workout protein shake.
