Labrada Nutrition GlutaLean - 1.01lb

The intensity you are able to pour into your workout is directly related to the effectiveness of your recovery methods, as they relate to yesterday’s workout! While many casual gym-goers can afford to mainly ignore recovery, if you are a serious athlete, bodybuilder, or are endeavoring to become one, taking care of your recovery is absolutely essential to your overall performance. Labrada Nutrition is proud to offer GlutaLean to dedicated athletes and bodybuilders who are looking for something more that just a protein shake. Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid normally synthesized in the body from glutamate and ammonia, but becomes essential if you subject yourself to heavy, intense workouts, or suffer from illness or injury. As one of the most common amino acids composing muscle mass, a proper intake and availability of Glutamine is absolutely crucial to muscle cell repair and recovery, as well as eventual growth. Glutamine can be found in meat, eggs and dairy as well as in certain vegetables, but not without risking an overly abundant diet.

How does GlutaLean work?

Each single-scoop serving of Labrada Nutrition’s GlutaLean contains 5 grams of pure, pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine, with nothing added. It is recommended to take one serving, up to 3 times a day, mixed with water. Glutamine supplementation is particularly appreciated by bodybuilders and athletes for the role it plays in muscle recovery; muscles are damaged by particularly intense workouts, and the body needs a constant saturation of amino acids, including Glutamine, to repair them. In their absence, the muscle cells will simply take their amino acids where they can, including from other healthy cells, a condition called catabolism, which is responsible for muscle breakdown. Studies have also shown that oral supplementation of L-Glutamine, as with Labrada Nutrition’s GlutaLean, of a minimum of 2 grams per day can increase the body’s natural secretion of growth hormone by up to 400%, and further increases muscle repair as well as, ultimately, growth. Glutamine is also important to the health and proper function of the immune system; it also contributes to the detoxification of the body by acting as a non-toxic carrier of ammonia in blood. In a pinch, Glutamine can also serve as a powerful source of cellular energy.
