What happens to the body during days of continuous exertion

L-glutamine is our body's most abundant free amino acid, and it is needed not only for muscle tissue but especially as fuel for intestinal lining cells. In everyday life, the body synthesizes sufficient glutamine from dietary protein. But when your week includes several tough workouts alongside everyday demands, your stores can deplete faster than they can refill.

Where is glutamine used the most?

During strenuous exercise, muscles release glutamine into the bloodstream to keep energy levels stable. If recovery falls short, your gut and immune system are put under strain:

• Gut health: Intestinal wall cells use glutamine as their primary fuel to stay intact and functional.
• Nitrogen balance: Adequate amino acid intake prevents the body from breaking down its own muscle tissue for energy after exertion.
• Pure and neutral: Fermented, plant-based glutamine powder dissolves in liquid without off-flavors or clumping.

Practical guide for using the powder

Glutamine is easiest to take right after exercise. Mix one level scoop of powder into lukewarm or cool water. Do not mix the powder into boiling hot liquid so the structure of the amino acid is not compromised. You can safely combine it in the same glass with other recovery powders.
