L-Glutamine with Theracurmin™

- Provides 5g of L-glutamine and 30mg of Theracurmin per serving
- Targets multiple pathways of inflammation and protein synthesis to improve muscle repair and recovery after exercise.
- Provides support for the immune and digestive systems
- Theracurmin has higher bioavailability and faster absorption in humans, compared to standard curcumin1,2.
- The powder formulation allows 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, an intermediate of the Krebs cycle that is particularly important for intestinal 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 the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, 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 the expression of tight junction proteins. Curcumin supplementation has been shown to alleviate damage to muscles after exercise, reduce pain from late onset soreness, and improve muscle performance recovery. Theracurmin, in particular, has been shown to prevent both increases in creatine kinase and muscle breakdown after eccentric exercise. In a prospective clinical trial, theracurmin was found to be effective in relieving symptoms and reducing the need for rescue medications in participants with knee osteoarthritis. Both L-glutamine and theracurmin target multiple mechanisms associated with inflammation, muscle repair, and muscle function.
