Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It is called non-essential amino acid, because it is a component of protein that can be manufactured by the body from other amino acids. Just because it is non-essential does not mean that the body cannot benefit from its supplementation. Glutamine is depleted by stress, physical injuries and inflammation, in areas like the intestine. It promotes muscle growth, stops muscle depletion caused by the stress hormone cortisol and it is an alternative fuel source for the brain when glucose is not readily available.
The promotion of lean muscle mass by glutamine is its most well known quality. Athletes have been using glutamine as a performance-enhancing supplement for many years. Medically, glutamine can rebuild lean tissue after periods of convalescence, surgery or muscle wasting illnesses.
Glutamine is the primary fuel source for cells that line the digestive tract. These fragile cells can be rebuilt with L-glutamine after damage from intestinal inflammation like ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcers or radiation from cell therapy. In the liver glutamine enhances the activity of glutathione, an antioxidant responsible for detoxifying drugs and alcohol. In the brain glutamine provides energy to brain cells and is helpful in cases of depression, senility and developmental disorders. Glutamine can reduce cravings for sugar and alcohol.
Glucosamine & Chondroitin
The scientific research on glucosamine provesagain and again that the most effective form of glucosamine is the sulfate form combined with chondroitin. The addition of chondroitin can increase the effectiveness of glucosamine by up to 50% and decrease the amount of time you may have to wait to realize pain relief.
The daily dosage of glucosamine proven to be effective in studies for reducing joint pain is 500mg three times a day. The daily dose of chondroitin needed is 400mg of the 90% grade type three times a day as well. It is recommended that this combination be taken with meals as the presence of digestive acids and enzymes at that time will dramatically improve absorption.
Glucosamine and chondroitin have been used in clinical trials for nearly 30 years and over that time they have each been proven to be very safe and non toxic, even in very high doses. Unlike many arthritis drugs, they will not irritate your stomach, or increase the degeneration of joint cartilage as is the case with cortisone.
When you take glucosamine / chondroitin, you will not feel any immediate effect because it takes time for the regeneration process to begin. Most people begin to notice results at about one month, while for some people it can take up to three or four months. In clinical studies, the rate of positive response has been shown to be about 75%.
