Glutamine Benefits

By Ellen Kazhantzahis

Glutamine is one of the body's vital helpers in its efforts to maintain your health and well-being. It is an important part of protein which is used in building the body's muscles and organs. Brain function, digestion and eradication of free-radicals are just some of the benefits it can provide.

And the good news is, it exists in abundance in our bodies. However, during times when we tax our bodies' physical limits and experience a high level of stress, the glutamine produced is not able to supply the bodies' need for it. It's best to supplement it to avail of all its benefits.

Athletes and body builders are known to load up on glutamine as they consider it an important part of their regimen. Otherwise, they would have to suffer from weakened immune systems because of the physical activities they do. Thus, they easily get infections and other contagious illnesses. Muscle loss due to strenuous exercise is also one risk that this amino is able to alleviate.

There is also the possibility of muscle loss as the body robs the muscles of this amino content and places it into other areas. When you supplement, the body gets all it needs to support the immune system and prevent muscle loss. Those undergoing surgery or who are recovering from trauma should also take supplements. During these periods, our bodies release the hormone cortisol. Cortisol feeds on glutamine as it heals the body.

This wonder aminoacid also helps you lose weight. Oftentimes, the culprit would be the cravings for sweet and fattening foods that you just can't resist. It helps you control your cravings so that slowly but surely, you lose weight the healthier way. And the weight you lose will comprise mostly of fat and not muscle.

It also regulates the presence of acids and alkalines in our body and make sure that there is a healthy balance between the two. Blood sugar is also kept at healthy levels. - 17274
