L-Glutamine


L-Glutamine is deemed as one of the most beneficial supplements for a bodybuilder because bodybuilding is a sport where the muscle is regularly torn down every time a weight is lifted, making proper recovery paramount to success. Anyone training seriously with weights puts their system at some risk with overtraining, but this amino acid can help.

During a workout, your essential amino acid stores get depleted, sometimes by as much as 50%. Consuming an amino acid rich supplement like Vintage Build™ with your diet can restore these critical building blocks all while giving you more energy during workouts and faster healing during off time and off days thanks to its essential 3-in-1 formula containing L-Glutamine, Creatine Monohydrate, and BCAAs (Branch Chained Amino Acids).

This formula not only promotes a quicker recovery time from grueling workouts and less soreness, it also raises the levels of growth hormones, so if you are working on adding mass with class, this is an especially helpful, natural way to do it.

It is also helpful for cutting down on fatigue during workouts and helps muscles retain much-needed water, which also makes them look fuller. And in addition to preserving muscle following workouts, this amino acid even aids in digestion, helping ensure proper absorption of the food you are consuming throughout the day.
 

What Exactly Is This Stuff?

 
L-Glutamine is one of the amino acids that your body needs; in fact it is one of the most common in your body and it is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. And although it is not an essential amino acid, it still makes up 61% of the tissue in your skeleton. With regards to taking it for bodybuilding, it is responsible for protein synthesis, which builds muscle mass. It is also responsible for facilitating a lot of other functions in your body, so it is no wonder that even people who don’t lift weights take it as a supplement, simply for health reasons.
 

Increased Growth Hormone

 
L-Glutamine can increase the amount of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) by as much as 400% if taken regularly. And this isn’t the synthetic HGH that bodybuilders are injecting into themselves to grow muscle faster. This is a natural HGH that is made by your body, so there are no harmful L-Glutamine side effects to what your body is making in response to an increased intake of naturally occurring amino acids. The benefits of more HGH include a faster metabolism, an increase in energy and endurance, the feeling of being younger, and the slowing and shrinking of increased fat cells for L-Glutamine weight loss. Any one of these benefits is a boon to any athlete, which is why so many people take this incredibly advantageous amino acid supplement.
 

L-glutamine Sugar Cravings, L-glutamine Alcohol

 
This amino acid also regulates blood sugar to stop cravings for sugary foods and alcohol, and it is even good for gastrointestinal health.
 

Other L-Glutamine Benefits

 
As this amino acid is an innate neurotransmitter, it helps with focus and concentration. This is important for bodybuilders who need to keep track of reps, sets and the amount of weights they are lifting in an ongoing fashion.
 

Conclusion

 
While almost anything seems possible with this incredible amino acid, be advised that you shouldn’t just buy it at the supermarket or mall. And if you see a canister of it for $9.99 at the local health food store, keep walking. A good product to check out is Old School Labs’ Vintage Build™ – a combination of three natural muscle-building supplements.
