Glutamin!

Ok! Tack!

Tvärtom Styx, Glutamin är en nyckelfaktor vid muskeltillväxt och det har visats vid flertalet undersökningar..
Vad har du för källa för ditt påstående?


"Glutamine has a tremendous amount of benefits to exercising individuals and those looking to increase lean muscle mass and decrease body fat. Supplemental glutamine can help promote cell volumization.  This phenomenon is the drawing of water INSIDE muscle cells which can help increase muscle "fullness", increase protein synthesis (the making of proteins), and decrease proteolysis (the breakdown of protein).  In fact, some of the "muscle building" benefits of taking creatine have to do with its ability to enhance cell volumization.  Glutamine has also been shown to aid in recovery and recuperation, help boost immune function by being one of the building blocks for the body’s most powerful anti-oxidant, glutathione, possibly cause extra growth hormone release with just a 2 gram oral dosage (it is yet to be determined whether that leads to an ergogenic benefit but it couldn't hurt), partially determine the rate of protein turnover in muscles, boost anti-inflammatory cell function, and helps increase muscle glycogen deposition through an unknown mechanism.  Many of these powerful effects can help increase lean body mass and prevent the breakdown of hard earned muscle.

"glutamine is essential to muscle growth. It may help reduce the rate of muscle breakdown (anticatabolic) relative to the rate of muscle growth (anabolic)2 and increase concentrations of plasma arginine ( 1.95 gr per serving) and glutamate, two amino acids linked to muscle-strengthening growth hormone."

"Physical conditions such as critical illness, stress conditions including heavy resistance exercise, endurance exercise, post-operative burns and trauma and overtraining syndrome result in an increased requirement for glutamine.

Under these conditions, skeletal muscle and the liver are no longer able to maintain normal plasma glutamine concentrations because of strongly increased requirements for glutamine by the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, immune system and inflammatory cells.  The extra glutamine essential for healthy cellular function must therefore be provided in the diet."

Ok, då finns det mängder med studier som säger att det fungerar och en studie som säger att det inte fungerar..
Och "Supplement Research Foundation" har inget intresse av att vinkla då de inte säljer några kosttillskott.
Jag vet bara att det finns väldigt många som har fått positiva effekter av glutamin och att fördelarna är många, förrutom ökad proteinsyntes, bla förbättrat immunförsvar

t-mag hade en artikel om glutamin ett tag sedan.

"If you’re interested in glutamine for its effect on muscle mass and strength, you’re in luck because a study was done on that, too! This next study is undoubtedly one of the best kept secrets in bodybuilding! In this study, the trained subjects consumed either 0.9g/kg lean body mass/day (average of 45g/day!), or a placebo, in 2 divided doses.(7)

It's noteworthy that using this amount of glutamine would run over 1200$USD per year for a 200lb guy!

By the end of the 6-week period, there were no differences in terms of 1Rep Max on squat or bench between the groups. There were also no differences between groups when it came to the gains in lean body mass (i.e. the amount of muscle they put on) during the trial period. This study was well designed and used the highest amount of glutamine ever studied for these purposes."


Det var just den här artikeln jag hänvisade till! Men det dög tydligen inte!
