Overview

MuscleTech Platinum 100% Glutamine provides 5g of ultra-pure L-glutamine per scoop. L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle. During intense exercise, illness, or stress, glutamine levels can drop by 50% or more — creating a conditional deficiency. Glutamine is the primary fuel source for enterocytes (intestinal lining cells) and immune cells (lymphocytes, macrophages). Supplementation supports gut barrier integrity (preventing 'leaky gut'), immune function during heavy training, and muscle recovery. The unflavored powder mixes into any liquid without altering taste.
