L-Glutamine with Theracurmin™

Provides 5g of L-glutamine and 30mg of Theracurmin per serving. Targets multiple pathways of inflammation and protein synthesis to enhance muscle repair and recovery after exercise. Provides immune and digestive system support. Theracurmin has higher bioavailability and faster absorption in humans, compared to standard curcumin. 1,2. The powder formulation allows for flexible and convenient dosing. Suitable for vegetarians/vegans. L-glutamine combined with Theracurmin provides two complementary nutrients that target inflammation and support gut and musculoskeletal health, particularly in response to exercise. L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, a Krebs cycle intermediate particularly important for gut and immune cells, and is known to be depleted following intense physical activity. L-glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent exercise-induced increases in intestinal permeability by promoting tight junction stability, increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine production, and suppressing inflammation, including NF-κB activation. L-glutamine also stimulates protein synthesis pathways while inhibiting protein breakdown, and has been shown to improve muscle recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and limit muscle damage after exercise. Curcumin has well-established anti-inflammatory effects on multiple molecular targets, including NF-κB, as well as cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases, and it also promotes the restoration of intestinal integrity by enhancing tight junction protein expression. Curcumin supplementation has been shown to attenuate muscle damage after exercise, reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness, and improve muscle performance recovery. Theracurmin, in particular, has been shown to prevent both increased creatine kinase and muscle breakdown after eccentric exercise. In a prospective clinical trial, theracurmin was effective in relieving symptoms and reducing the need for rescue medication in participants with knee osteoarthritis. Both L-glutamine and theracurmin target multiple mechanisms associated with inflammation, muscle repair, and muscle function.
