ANTIAGING-AMINO-ACID-GLUTAMINE

WHAT IS: ANTIAGING-AMINO-ACID-GLUTAMINE



80% OF AMINO ACIDS ARE NON-ESSENTIAL (ne)

CONDITIONALLY ESSENTIAL (ce)
Glutamine is considered conditionally essential, which means it is not normally required in the diet, but may be needed in specific populations.

BENEFITS FOR WHAT IS: ANTIAGING-AMINO-ACID-GLUTAMINE:
*Helps to build and maintain muscle
*Known as brain fuel
*The brain converts glutamine into glutamic acid and is essential for mental function
*Increases amount of GABA needed, in order to sustain proper brain function and
*mental activity
*Assists with proper acid/alkaline balance
*Promotes maintenance of a healthy digestive tract
*Enhances antioxidant protection
*Decreases alcohol and sugar cravings

WHAT IS GLUTAMINE?:
When an amino acid is broken down it releases nitrogen. The body does need nitrogen however free nitrogen can form ammonia, which becomes toxic to the brains tissues. The liver can convert nitrogen into urea, which excretes through urine, or nitrogen may attach itself to glutamic acid, which forms glutamine.
The creation of glutamine clears ammonia from tissues, especially in the brain, and transfers nitrogen from one place to another as needed. It is the most plentiful free amino acid found in the muscles. It is unique, in that each molecule contains two nitrogen atoms, unlike other amino acids with only one.

FOOD SOURCES ARE:
Raw spinach and raw parsley
Supplements are available and need to be kept dry otherwise it is degraded

GLUTAMINE:
Is a Non-essential amino acid but is also considered conditionally essential
Is easily destroyed by cooking

TOXICITY:
Should not be taken if you have cirrhosis of the liver, kidney problems or Reye's
syndrome or any disorder that can accumulate ammonia in the blood

DEFICIENCY:
A lack of glutamine can cause muscle to deteriorate, especially when going through long term illness.

DEFICIENCY SYMPTONS:
Weak muscles

MAY BE BENEFICIAL:
For arthritis, autoimmune diseases, fibrosis, intestinal disorders, peptic ulcers, polymyositis and scleroderma
In preserving glutathione in the liver
In protection from acetaminophen overdose
