L-GLN

Prevent muscle wastage

Oral supplementation of USN L-GLN helps to prevent muscle wastage caused by this natural recovery process. GLN has become increasingly prominent as new studies reveal its unique contribution to protein synthesis, muscle growth, anti-catabolic (preventing muscle tissue breakdown) and growth hormone elevating effects.

Increase muscle growth

GLN is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood and in the intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue). It comprises 61% of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle cell. In fact, GLN alone is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen that penetrates muscle cells. GLN literally drives muscle-building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesised for growth.

Accelerate recovery

GLN concentrations fall remarkably after training within as little as 30 minutes, and remain low until complete recovery, up to as long as 5 – 7 days, resulting in decreases in strength, stamina and recovery. It is therefore critical for maintaining and building muscle tissue. The higher the muscle GLN levels you can maintain, the less chance you have of falling into catabolism and the faster muscle will recover and grow.
