RECOVER-ME IS A GLUTAMINE SUPPLEMENT OF HIGH-QUALITY

WHAT IS L-GLUTAMINE?

Glutamine is the most common amino acid (building block of proteins) in the body. Glutamine is produced in the muscles and is distributed by the blood to the organs that need it. It is a conditionally essential amino acid, which means that the body is normally able to produce enough to meet its metabolic needs.

But in times of extreme stress (the kind that you experience after strenuous exercise (or injury), your body may need more glutamine than it can make. Most Glutamine is stored in muscles, followed by the lungs in which a lot of Glutamine is produced.

1. Glutamine has the ability to repair the digestive tract. It is a primary fuel source for enterocytes (cells that line the inside of the small intestine). Studies show that glutamine supplementation supports the health of the intestinal wall.<>People with peptic ulcer disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, spastic or leaky gut may benefit from glutamine supplementation.
   
2. Glutamine increases metabolism and cellular detoxification. It removes excess ammonia (a common waste product in the body) particularly also in the brain. Glutamine is the non-toxic transporter of ammonia into the bloodstream.
3. When the body is stressed (from injury, infection, burns, trauma or surgery) it releases the hormone cortisol into the bloodstream. High levels of cortisol can reduce the amount of glutamine in your body, which can lead to muscle loss. Several studies show that adding glutamine to tube feeds helps reduce the risk of death in trauma and critically ill patients.
4. It is important as a 'fuel' (nitrogen and carbon) for many different cells in the body. After surgery or trauma, nitrogen is needed to repair injuries and keep vital organs functioning. About a third of this nitrogen comes from glutamine. When the body uses more glutamine than the muscles can produce (i.e. during periods of exercise), muscle loss can occur.
   
5. Glutamine supplements can also help recover from severe burns.
   
6. It improves the well-being of people who have suffered traumatic injuries and helps prevent infections in seriously ill people.
   
7. It improves recovery after a bone marrow transplant or bowel surgery,
   
8. Another important function is to provide energy for the brain. The brain can only use glucose, not fat, as an energy source. In times of stress, such as during exercise or illness, the brain may not get enough glucose for energy. As the brain is the most important organ, L-glutamine is directed to the brain. Here it can be converted into a sugar element that can be used by the brain as fuel.
   
9. It helps to improve memory and concentration.
10. Glutamine is the non-toxic carrier of ammonia in the bloodstream.
11. Reduces cravings for sugar and alcohol.
