Rule 1 Glutamine

Glutamine is a conditionally-essential amino acid (CEAA) and an important building-block of proteins. Prolonged bouts of intense exercise can deplete your body’s nutritional reserves and overcome its ability to fully recover. Rule 1 Glutamine is made entirely with pure l-glutamine, Glutamine is a simple way to help keep your levels elevated.

Here's what it's good for:

Amino Acid, Muscle Recovery, Immune Support, Gut Health, Wound Healing, Stress Response, Fatigue Reduction, Nitrogen Balance, Intestinal Repair, Neurotransmitter Precursor,

  • Supports muscle recovery: After intense exercise, glutamine levels in the body can be depleted, leading to muscle breakdown. Supplementation helps replenish these levels, aiding recovery.
  • Reduces muscle soreness: It can decrease muscle soreness and improve exercise tolerance.

2. Immune System Support

  • Glutamine is a critical fuel source for immune cells like lymphocytes and macrophages. It helps maintain a robust immune system, especially during stress or illness.

3. Gut Health

  • Maintains gut lining: Glutamine supports the integrity of the intestinal lining by providing fuel for the cells of the gut (enterocytes). This is beneficial for preventing "leaky gut syndrome."
  • Promotes digestion: It helps repair the gut and may alleviate issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or Crohn's disease.

4. Supports Wound Healing

  • Glutamine plays a role in cell proliferation and tissue repair, making it essential for faster recovery from injuries or surgeries.

5. Reduces Fatigue

  • By replenishing glycogen stores in the body and improving nitrogen balance, glutamine can help combat fatigue, especially in athletes.

6. Brain Function

  • Glutamine is a precursor to neurotransmitters like glutamate and GABA, which are vital for brain function, memory, and mood regulation.

7. Stress and Recovery

  • During physical or emotional stress, the body demands more glutamine than it can produce. Supplementing can help manage the body's stress response and promote recovery.

8. Metabolic Support

  • Improves nitrogen balance: It helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance, critical for muscle growth and repair.
  • Supports metabolic functions: Plays a role in gluconeogenesis, the process of creating glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.

Common Sources of Glutamine:

  • Foods: Chicken, fish, eggs, dairy products, tofu, lentils, beans, spinach, and cabbage.
  • Supplements: Available as powders or capsules for individuals who need higher levels (e.g., athletes or those recovering from surgery).

Glutamine is generally safe when consumed through diet or supplements within recommended doses. However, high-dose supplementation should be monitored, especially for individuals with medical conditions or specific dietary needs.
