Post Workout Muscle Recovery

Glutamine has been touted as the best of the best of the amino acids. It is the most abundant amino in the body and has great bodybuilding potential. It is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning the human body produces it naturally, but under special circumstances, more is required than the body can produce. One such special circumstance would be intense physical training. Marathon runners and bodybuilders train at extremely intense levels. Glutamine has been shown to help runners recover after the marathon. A 26+ mile run is tough, but so are many serious lifters' programs. Glutamine may be the key to shorter recovery times after hard weight room workouts. Glutamine is a required fuel for some immune system cells, and may even stimulate overall immune function. Muscles will not grow when the nutrients they require are being used to battle an illness; Glutamine may keep you from getting sick, keeping your muscles flooded with nutrients. Studies indicate lowered levels of Glutamine could result in a slower response to infection, which means more time off from training. It may boost the immune system, keeping you in the gym and pumping hard all year long. That benefit alone makes Glutamine a worthwhile supplement for most serious lifters. Glutamine also has the potential to neutralize the lactic acid generated during physical exercise. Lactic acid is responsible for the burn experienced while working out. When too much is produced, contraction becomes more difficult, and eventually becomes impossible. Glutamine may increase the muscles' buffering capacity, keeping lactic acid levels low and allowing a workout to continue longer than it would without the supplement. With all of its positive contributions, Glutamine has earned the title, best of the best.

IDS L-Glutamine with MSM is the ideal product for post workout rehabilitation for torn muscle fibers. Research has shown that supplementing 5-15 grams of L-Glutamine per day can decrease muscle soreness, decrease recovery time and boost the body's immune system. There is no better quality L-Glutamine on the market today than L-Glutamine with MSM.

The presence of MSM is crucial to proper cell replacement. Under optimal conditions, new flexible cells replace old ones by attaching to flexible tissue. MSM provides the flexible bond between proteins that this process requires. Without it, tissues and cells become rigid. This can lead to the premature deterioration of various body organs. MSM also replenishes organs by increasing blood circulation and contributing to general tissue detoxification.

L-Glutamine with MSM (IDS) - Average rating (3 reviews)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. March 15, 2007 Reviewer: Charles in South Carolina L-Glutamine has been a tough sell for me, until some of the manufacturers actually started making a REAL MICRONIZED version. This is the stuff, mixes about the best of all of them, and the added MSM is perfect for those of us who lift heavy. A scoop or two in every PW shake will be unnoticeable tastewise, but definitely helps with recovery. Like most of their products, IDS hits the bullseye with this one. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No March 08, 2008 Reviewer: David in Kansas Good product, takes away the muscle soreness quickly. Doesn't really have much of a taste. Mix with flavored drink and you don't even know it's in there. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No November 04, 2007 Reviewer: Arron in Armed Forces Pacific This product works great. I have been using this product for years off and on; mainly during tours to Iraq. Glutamine is essential in the recovery of sore muscles along with simple stretching to get the lactic acid out of the muscle and out to the blood stream. IDS just offers the best price for the most amount. Now the taste leaves much to be desired; but I mix it with something sweet to mask the taste. The bottom line is that you wont be afraid to go big for fear of being sore with this in your diet; it's like a hangover cure for sore muscles. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No
