L-Glutamine Powder (with arginine) by Pharmax

Glutamine and Arginine
Two amino acids that have attracted a great deal of recent research interest are glutaminine and arginine.
They are now classified as conditionally essential and this follows the generation of extensive evidence that:
They are required in increased amounts in individuals suffering or recovering from injury or trauma, tumonogenic disease and infections.
Supplementation of these amino acids, in addition to dietary intake, can have a positive effect on symptoms and clinical outcome.
An example of this is a randomized controlled clinical trial by Hulst et al, 1999 where supplemental glutamine prevented gut permeability and preserved mucosal structure in patients with gastrointestinal disease.

A pure preparation of these two conditionally essential amino acids, noted for:
Immune stimulation
GI tract maintenance and repair
Improved recovery from wound, trauma and infections
Specifically recommended for GI tract usage

The major physiological function of glutamine and arginine are outlined below:
Ingredients Per gram
L-glutamine 800mg
L-arginine 200mg

Recommended
1 - 5 scoops (1-5 grams) mixed with water or juice, taken daily with a meal or as professionally directed.

Keep out of reach of children. Contra-indications: None known if recommended intake is followed. Safe during pregnancy

Glutamine

Activity

Major cell energy source (enterocytes and lymphocytes)

Precursor to glutathione

Major nitrogen carrier in body tissues

Physiological Effects

Maintains mucosal barrier

Prevents gut permeability

Improves natural killer cell count

Improves immune lymphocyte activity and number

Improves glutathione status

Preserves muscle mass during trauma and post-operative recovery and illness

Overall beneficial effect in cancer therapy

Arginine

Activity

1. The major source of nitric oxide
2. Stimulates ornithine and proline levels
3. Stimulates levels of the following hormones:
Growth hormone, Insulin, Catacholamines, Glucagon, Prolactin

Physiological Effects
Improves mucosal replacement by stimulating polyamine synthesis
Stimulates wound healing and accelerates recovery by hormone stimulation
Protects against gut permeability by stimulating nitric oxide production.
Improves immune status by increasing thymic weight and lympholytic responsiveness.
Overall appears to be beneficial in cancer therapy.
Improves immune status, notably when combined with omega-3 fatty acids.
Arginine is not synthesized efficiently in the body and so deficiency or increased requirement can only be produced from increased dietary intake.
