Glutamine concentrations fall markedly after training
and remain low until complete recovery. What this means is, the
very rigors of weight training "leak" nitrogen carrying
glutamine from muscle tissue. This fall in glutamine is
catabolic to muscle tissue - "The Training Paradox".
Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle
tissue, counteracts the fall in muscle protein synthesis, and
improves nitrogen balance. Glutamine overcomes "The Training
Paradox".
Glutamineâ??s unique structure, containing two
nitrogen side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen - making it
the primary transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell. In
fact, glutamine alone is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen
that gets into the muscle cell. Glutamine literally drives
muscle building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is
synthesized for growth.
