STAY HEALTHY*
It’s no mystery to most long distance runners that within 1 week after race day you’re likely to get sick. In fact, one study showed only 48.8% of those taking a placebo stayed healthy, while 80% of those taking glutamine stayed healthy.
Why? Researchers are discovering that strenuous exercise can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system. While most of the body’s cells use glucose for fuel, the immune system requires significant amounts of glutamine. This amino acid is important for the proliferation of lymphocytes and for several key functions of the macrophages.
When you take glutamine, you provide your body with a fuel it needs to stay healthy. This may allow you to train more frequently without as many of those frustrating down periods.*
​GUT HEALTH BENEFITS*
The human gut has two major divisions of beneficial bacteria ed Firmicutes and Bacteriodetes. A few studies have uncovered a link between the ratio of these two divisions and body weight. Lower levels of Firmicutes are typiy found in healthier, leaner people, while higher levels of Firmicutes are typiy found in overweight individuals.
In a pilot study, 33 individuals with excess weight took 30 grams of L-glutamine or a placebo each day for two weeks. At the end of the study, the Firmicutes-to-Bacteriodetes ratio had decreased in the glutamine group by 33%, and it increased in the placebo group by 23%.
The researchers said the favorable changes to gut flora in the L-glutamine group were similar to those found in people on a weight loss program. Although L-glutamine may not cause weight loss, it may support overall gut health benefits.*
