G-TEK Product Details:
G-TEK - Peptide Transported Glutamine by ThermoLife International is a
new technologically advanced form of glutamine clinically proven to be
more effective at raising glutamine levels than any free form glutamine
product on the market.(3)
G-Tek Renders All Free Form L-Glutamine Obsolete!
With the release of G-TEK Peptide Transported Glutamine ThermoLife
International sets the new standard in glutamine supplementation.
Recent clinical studies have proven that the technologically advanced
Peptide Transported Glutamine in G-TEK is more bio available, more
stable and more effective at raising glutamine levels than any free
form glutamine product on the market. (3)
Clinical science and practical experience have proven that free
form L-glutamine is inherently unstable, it quickly degrades in
solution and does not reach the blood in concentration levels needed to
replenish healthy levels of glutamine. In addition, a little know fact,
is that almost all of the research done on free from glutamine
supplementation was done in hospitals on subjects receiving the
glutamine intravenously. Just because you buy and take something called
glutamine, does not mean you are going to benefit from all the
metabolic functions that glutamine performs.
On the contrary, the Peptide Transported Glutamine in G-TEK has
been clinically proven to be highly stable in the body, very soluble in
solution, readily absorbed by the digestive tract, and efficiently
retained in the blood and body tissues where it enters muscle cells
fast and performs the essential metabolic functions of glutamine
including; increasing muscle mass, preventing catabolic muscle loss,
raising growth hormone levels, improving immune functions, stabilizing
blood sugar and preventing over training syndrome, just to name a few.
The benefits of Glutamine supplementation cannot be fully
experienced from free form L-glutamine. The only practical way to
effectively elevate glutamine levels is with the clinically proven
Peptide Transported Glutamine in G-TEK. G-TEK now renders all free form
glutamine products obsolete Start taking G-TEK today and feel the
difference.
Why Glutamine?
Glutamine is a "conditionally essential" amino acid. Normally, an
"essential" amino acid is one that the body must ingest through
nutrition, because it can't manufacture that amino acid. But, under
certain conditions - of stress, disease, malnutrition, or bodily injury
- a "non-essential" amino acid, which the body manufactures, can become
depleted and "conditionally essential." Glutamine is the most important
of these, for its many vital functions in normal body function and
athletic training.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, constituting
more than 50% of the free amino acid pool in body cells. It is normally
available to synthesize proteins, the building blocks of muscle, and
provide many more beneficial functions, as we'll explain.
One of Glutamine's primary metabolic functions is that it helps to
regulate glucose metabolism. Glutamine converts to glucose without
changing insulin or glucagon levels. These are the hormones that
regulate blood sugar. During carbohydrate depletion, glutamine can
reduce body fat loss without loss of lean body mass. Glutamine provides
a high-energy source for maintaining muscle function, by converting to
glucose, which turns into glycogen stores in the muscles.
Glutamine is a key contributor to repair of gastrointestinal tract
cells and the immune system - where it contributes to nucleic acid
synthesis, which is essential to cell growth throughout the body. And
because glutamine helps the intestinal tract resist the passage of
bacteria into the bloodstream, glutamine supplementation helps
hard-training athletes fight off infection, and helps the person with
illness or injury to recover faster.
Glutamine has been proven to release growth hormone. In one study
just 2 grams of glutamine raised growth hormone levels more than 400%,
increased growth hormone levels have a strong anabolic effect on muscle
growth. Glutamine also converts to glutathione, a powerful anti-oxidant
that helps to prevent cellular breakdown.5 And glutamine crosses the
blood-brain barrier, converting inside the brain to glutamic acid,
which makes GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), which boosts mental
alertness and relaxes the body. As a neurotransmitter in the brain,
glutamine is a precursor to other neurotransmitters, so glutamine
levels can affect the brain and nervous system.
For the muscles, a glutamine shortage can cause the muscles to be
broken down, releasing glutamine to the rest of the body, leading to
muscle wasting. Especially for body-builders and other athletes
undergoing rigorous training workouts on a regular basis, it is crucial
to ensure that the body's stores of glutamine are maintained at healthy
levels, through supplementation before and after training.
Glutamine is critical to the intestines and the immune system as a
fuel, and is used to synthesize DNA, enzymes and proteins in all active
cells in your body - a building block for your muscles.1 Glutamine also
helps maintain overall body health by regulating the acid / alkaline
balance of the blood.
So, by helping to regulate glucose metabolism, glutamine helps
maintain the level of glycogen stored in your muscles as fuel for
strenuous exercise. Adequate levels of glutamine are also critical to
your brain, where glutamine is a neurotransmitter and precursor to
another key neurotransmitter, keeping your brain functioning normally.
And healthy blood levels of glutamine are an important part of
anti-oxidant defenses, and maintaining the blood's critical acid/alkali
balance.
Under normal conditions, our bodies make adequate amounts of
glutamine from other amino acids. But after strenuous physical
exercise, when fighting an illness, or if the body has been damaged by
injury, our bodies run low on glutamine, and are more susceptible to
infections.2 At these times of physical stress, when our bodies cannot
make enough glutamine, we need to take additional amounts into our
bodies through food or supplementation.
Athletes in training, whether aerobic or anaerobic, create this
level of glutamine-depleting stress on the body during exhaustive
training. Strenuous exercise lowers the blood concentration of
glutamine. Sometimes, the body's glutamine levels do not recover before
the next training session. Studies have shown that an athlete in the
overtraining syndrome - where the athlete works harder but his or her
performance does not improve - has chronically low levels of glutamine.
In this condition, the athlete may lose muscle mass, is more prone to
injury and infection, and may suffer digestive problems and a loss of
motivation for exercise.
Glutamine Supplementation
Maintaining healthy blood levels of glutamine is necessary to the
athlete who wants to optimize all critical body functions, and derive
the maximum benefit from his or her training regimen. Before, during
and after training, glutamine levels must be maintained, to provide its
vital role in regulating energy, repairing any lost muscle tissue,
maintaining and building added muscle, sustaining elevated levels of
growth hormone and its powerful anabolic effect, nourishing the immune
system, keeping brain and nerve function at a high level, and
maintaining the acid/alkali blood balance.
The athlete must be sure to build up his or her blood glutamine
level pre-workout, so the entire body has enough reserve glutamine to
prevent glutamine depletion during or after a strenuous workout. Stored
glutamine reserves are crucial to being able to function at a high
level during an athletic workout. In body building and strength
training, glutamine is both anabolic - muscle building and
anti-catabolic - muscle protecting.
Pre-loading of glutamine via supplementation, in preparation for a
strenuous workout, is the key to ensuring adequate reserves and
preventing depletion. Mid-workout, a healthy blood level of glutamine
is critical to maximum performance, by sustaining high-level muscular,
nerve, brain, intestinal, and blood functioning. Post-workout,
supplementation is essential to restoring blood levels of glutamine
burned up by exertion. The rebuilding of energy levels and restoration
of the protein building blocks supplied by glutamine are key to
preparing for, performing, and afterward sustaining the full benefit of
a strenuous workout. Glutamine supplementation heightens your
preparation, performance, and recovery from strenuous workouts.
Physicians have recognized that glutamine supplementation is needed
under conditions of stress. These conditions run a parallel to the hard
working athlete. In theses conditions physicians have administered free
for L- glutamine to clinical patients intravenously.3 But, they
discovered that free form, unbonded glutamine is highly unstable in the
body, breaking down so that it is not bioavailable, and does not reach
the blood concentration levels needed to replenish healthy levels of
glutamine.
Peptide-bonded amino acids, including glutamine, are clinically
proven to be highly stable in the body, very soluble in solution,
readily absorbed by the digestive tract, and efficiently retained in
the blood and body tissues. Peptide-bonded amino acids are administered
to patients with burns, inflammatory disease, cancer and AIDS, and are
used in oral supplements for high-output athletes.
Peptides are amino acids linked to each other by strong, peptide
bonds. Strings of amino acids make up short, medium, or long-chain
peptides, which in turn are the main components of protein. Short-chain
peptides are amino acids linked in groups of two (dipeptides), three
(tri-peptides), or more.
Di-and tri-peptides are very stable in solution, are very soluble -
they dissolve completely in solution - and are quickly and easily
absorbed by the human digestive tract.4 They are totally bioavailable,
since they are retained - not excreted - by the body and are ready for
use in building and repairing muscle, supplying energy, serving as the
building blocks of DNA, protein and muscle, converting to antioxidants,
releasing anabolic growth hormones or any of their other vital
functions.6
Peptide-bonded glutamine is selectively absorbed by muscle tissue
in need of repair and replenishment.6 Being easily absorbed and totally
bioavailable, peptide-bonded glutamine enters muscle cells fast, breaks
down to free glutamine, and performs its essential metabolic functions.
Peptide-bonded glutamine is thus more efficient, more effective, and
clearly superior to free-form glutamine for supplementation of the
athlete concerned about maintaining his or her pre-, mid- and
post-workout glutamine levels.
Why is the G-TEK L-glutamine delivery system in tablet form?
If you have ever worked with peptide-bonded glutamine you know that
powdered peptide-bonded glutamine has a definite limitation. Taken
orally, singly or in combination, with juice, protein drinks, or water,
they have a strongly bitter taste, and for the most part are
unpalatable. We have tried previous powder-form supplements of
peptide-bonded glutamine and have tried to mask the bitter taste with
flavoring, but it doesn't work. The taste is just unbearable.
This limitation has been overcome by ThermoLife International's
peptide bonded glutamine delivery system in tablet form. ThermoLife
International is the first to offer such an essential glutamine
supplement in a form that is practical, convenient and affordable (as
always you will see the other companies copy us). Clinical science and
practical experience has proven that that free form L-glutamine is
inherently unstable, and quickly breaks down in solution and is
basically worthless to the athlete as a powdered supplement.
Research has shown that peptide bonded glutamine is very stable and
soluble, and readily absorbed from the digestive tract. In fact some
research indicates that peptide-bonded glutamine is more than 20 times
more bio-available than straight free form L-glutamine. That clearly
makes G-TEK-Peptide Transported Glutamine by ThermoLife International
the most bio-available and most cost effective glutamine product on the
market today. Don't even waste your time finishing your existing bottle
of free form L-glutamine. Start taking this product today and feel the
difference.
Clearly the only choice for glutamine supplementation is G-TEK -
Peptide Transported Glutamine, excluively manufactred by ThermoLife
International. And, as with all our products G-TEK comes with our 100%
money back guarantee.
