GL3

GL3 is a Glutamine food supplement. Glutamine is an amino acid most abundant in the muscles where it has important physiological roles. In particular, it has four functions:

1. Structural;
2. Detoxifying, on the excess of ammonium;
3. Anti-catabolic, facilitating muscle protein synthesis and sparing glycogen;
4. Energetic, transforming into glucose during strenuous and prolonged exercise.

GL3 is an innovative supplement containing three molecular forms of glutamine: the traditional one, the acetyl glutamine and the alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG). Acetyl glutamine, in particular, features considerably improved pharmacokinetics, which facilitate the passage through the blood-brain barrier and make glutamine available to the central nervous system. Glutamine was once known as the “amino acid of thought”, as it boosts those biochemical mechanisms associated with reflection and concentration.

Glutamine is considered an energy nutrient for lymphocytes and enterocytes and contributes to activating “natural killer” cells, thus boosting the activity of the immune system. Such feature is particularly important during endurance sports activities, in which glutamine guarantees the impenetrability of the intestinal mucosa. The form associated to the alpha-ketoglutarate improves the availability of cell glutamine, whereas the alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) has a key role both in the anabolic and catabolic phases of amino acid metabolism, becoming essential during strenuous physical activity to guarantee its detoxifying and energetic functions, but also in the following phase, to facilitate muscle recovery and repair.

GL3 is a valid nutritious supplement in case of catabolic stress (trauma, surgery), leaky gut syndrome, physical and mental fatigue, intense exercise and overtraining syndrome. It is useful to prevent immune deficiency conditions, for example in case of convalescent patients who had traumas or surgery. GL3 can be also used to boost growth and optimise protein synthesis.
