ALANYL-L-GLUTAMINE 100gm

Alanyl-l-glutamine is a di-peptide, formed by the bonding of alanine and glutamine. It is a high quality alternative to standard glutamine. Due to the bonding of these two amino acids, glutamine is far more stable and delivers all of the benefits of glutamine as well as some of its own. A clinical study by dr. Jay hoffman, phd, professor and chair of the department of health and exercise science at the college of new jersey, has shown l-alanyl-l-glutamine, increases performance in endurance exercise and activity. The study showed the efficacy of l-alanyl-l-glutamine ingestion during hydration stress under intense exercise. The clinical study covered the ability of l-alanyl-l-glutamine to enhance fluid regulation in healthy, active individuals in relation to both endurance and high intensity exercise. Further discussion focuses on the potential ergogenic benefit that l-alanyl-l-glutamine has under these exercise and hydration stresses. The role that this dipeptide has on the inflammatory, immune and recovery responses to these stresses was also examined. It appears to increase electrolyte and fluid uptake across the intestines by increasing ion transport through an enhanced signaling pathway within the intestinal mucosal cells. Its implications for exercise are enhancement of fluid regulation during prolonged exercise in the heat, maintaining or enhancing performance during a hydration/heat stress, and enhancing recovery from exercise by modulating immune, inflammatory and oxidative stress responses to physical activity.
