L-Glutamine Dietary Supplement

• Improve nitrogen retention & protein synthesis
• Reduce muscle cell breakdown
• Increase muscle cell volume

When you're pushing it to the limit in the gym, day in and day out, you put physical stress on your body. And it's your body's response to this stress- its need to adapt to the added workload- that drives it to build more muscle and increase its aerobic capacity. Everything about getting lean, strong and muscular depends on your body's ability to efficiently and effectively recuperate from the physical stress of exercise. And that's where L-Glutamine comes into play. When it comes to total anabolic support, L-Glutamine is king!

L-Glutamine is involved in virtually every stage of the muscle-building process- from shutting vital nitrogen building blocks into muscle cells, to helping increase muscle cell volume in order to stimulate protein synthesis (muscle building) in the cell, to enhancing protein phosphorylation (a crucial step in muscle protein synthesis), to supporting the immune system. 1,2,3,4,5

That's the good news. The bad news is that intense physical stress can minimize your L-Glutamine stores. Your body actually robs your muscles of L-Glutamine in order to use it elsewhere. When this happens, and L-Glutamine levels are depleted, muscles may become catabolic (breakdown) and protein production could stop- bringing your muscular recuperation to a virtual standstill. 6

But you can put an end to this vicious cycle. Scientific research shows that by taking supplemental L-Glutamine this catabolic process can be reduced. 7,8 Muscle L-Glutamine stores can be optimized, strong Growth Hormone levels can be supported and immune function can be enhanced, allowing effective and efficient muscular recuperation and growth to take place.

Take your muscle growth and recuperation to the next level- Take L-Glutamine by EAS.

• Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, mix 1.5 teaspoons into water or juice 1-3 times daily. For best results, consume immediately following workouts and/or before bedtime.
• Athletes who engage in intense, regular exercise should consume at least 120 oz. of water per day. Drink an additional 16 oz. of water for every pound lost during exercise.
