Description

Primaforce's Glutaform delivers high quality, pharmaceutical-grade glutamine. L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in skeletal muscle. Over 60% of amino acids in muscle consist of glutamine. Glutamine helps the immune system function optimally, enhances protein synthesis in body tissues, promotes muscle growth and supports recovery.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are essential to the human body and needed to build the proteins used in the growth, repair, and maintenance of muscle. Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid that may become conditionally essential if demand for it exceeds the body's ability to produce it. Certain conditions such as intense exercise or physical stress (such as infection, burns and injury) can deplete glutamine levels, making adequate dietary intake or supplementation necessary.

Glutamine is heavily metabolized during intense training. The immune system and gut also rely heavily on glutamine. Research suggests that glutamine levels may be reduced by as much as 50% in muscles following competition and intense workouts. Glutamine supplementation can help prevent the breakdown of muscle, promote an anabolic (muscle building) environment, support immunity and improve protein metabolism.

Pros

Glutaform's pharmaceutical-grade glutamine is laboratory tested for quality and purity.

Glutaform has the following benefits:

• Promotes muscle building
• Prevents muscle breakdown
• Supports immunity
• Improves protein metabolism

Cons

Few side effects are associated with glutamine supplementation. However, mega-dosing with glutamine over an extended period of time may result in potential side effects such as diarrhea, weakness and nausea.

Pregnant or lactating women or people with pre-existing medical conditions or taking medication should not supplement with Glutaform without consulting a physician.

Be aware that some drugs may interact with Glutaform including:

• Chemotherapy
• Cisplatin
• Cyclophosphamide
• Docetaxel
• Fluorouracil
• Methotrexate
• Paclitaxel

Is it for you?

If you're looking to build muscle and enhance recovery after intense workouts, Glutaform may be for you.

However, pregnant or lactating women or people with pre-existing medical conditions or taking medication should not supplement with Glutaform without consulting a physician.

Dosage and Directions

Mix one scoop (1 teaspoon) with 4 ounces of water or juice after training and 1 scoop prior to bedtime.

To promote an anabolic environment, take several servings of Glutaform spread out throughout the day.
