Dietary supplement.
Ultra Pure. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body,
comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle
and more than 20% of total circulating amino acids. This conditionally
essential amino acid is extremely important in overall health,
athletics and in building and maintaining muscle. For example, hormones
destructive to muscle and brain tissue such as cortisol are released at
times of stress and increase the demand for free glutamine. And, during
conditions of calorie restriction or dieting glutamine and BCAAs act to
stave off catabolic hormones and prevent muscle wasting. The majority
of nitrogen lost from calorie restriction and dieting occurs when
levels of glutamine in the body are insufficient. Therefore, glutamine
supplementation can be used to reverse this condition by promoting
nitrogen retention and preventing muscle loss and immune system down
regulation. Supplementation of this amino acid can also markedly
improve testosterone to cortisol ratios and thus, potentially increase
muscle mass. Additionally, glutamine can also increase anabolism
(muscle building) by increasing muscle cell volume. Just two grams of
glutamine has been shown in research studies to increase growth hormone
levels by over 400% and also repair and maintain the integrity of the
intestines and even have a 92% cure rate of ulcers within four weeks of
use. Research indicates that the metabolic requirement for glutamine is
greatly increased during times of stress such as fasting, illness,
injury and/or intense athletic training. Further, the immune system
depends on glutamine as a primary fuel source and consequently, the
demand for this amino acid increases during periods of immunological
stress. (These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug

Directions
Mix
one teaspoon of Ultra Pure Glutamine with 8 oz of water or your
favorite beverage. This supplement can also be taken on an empty
stomach prior to retiring to significantly increase growth hormone
output. Another option for Ultra Pure Glutamine is to consume this
amino acid along with Zero Impact Protein after any type of athletic
event or resistance training. For best results use two to three
servings daily including non-training days. The Ultra Pure
Glutamine/Zero Impact supplement strategy should always be utilized 30
minutes prior to resistance training and 20 minutes following an
intense workout. Protect from heat, light and moisture. Store at 59 -
86 degrees F. Suitable for vegan and vegetarian use.
