L-Glutamine: Stress & Muscles

The Very natura laboratory, in its Natureforme range, offers you L-Glutamine. 

Glutamine or L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in blood and muscles. It plays a role in protein synthesis, immune protection, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal wall and the body's acid-base balance. 

It is also used in the endogenous production of glucosamine, which, in turn, is involved in the repair of cartilage and tendons. Glutamine is not considered an essential amino acid because the body can synthesize it from certain foods as needed. 

Moderate exercise, done regularly, increases glutamine levels in the blood, but extreme stress can significantly reduce them. 

The body then risks becoming the target of various infections. 

This is what seems to happen, in particular, in what is called "overtraining syndrome." Immune damage occurs when the body's ability to regenerate and combat stress is overwhelmed. 

Therefore, during intense exercise or rigorous workouts, the production of free radicals is increased. 

This overload causes a depletion of antioxidants produced by the body, such as glutathione. 

Normally, rest and diet replenish your antioxidant enzyme stores. 

So, while a regular exercise program often leads to an increase in immune defenses, overtraining can lead to burnout. Several factors can worsen this burnout. 

First on the list is the individual's overall stress level. 

As a result, symptoms of overtraining may appear in a person who follows a relatively light exercise program but experiences significant stresses in daily life. 

Symptoms of overtraining include frequent colds, unexplained fatigue, or poor sleep. 

They are the opposite of the improvement in vitality that one might expect from an exercise program. Dosage: 2 capsules per day Packaging: 60 capsules per jar
