Gluta Alkaline is L-Glutamine and Trans-Alanyl-Glutamine. Studies show that L-Glutamine plays a role in protein synthesis, and at the same time helps to promote an anabolic state by down-regulating catabolic activity. In fact, some important researchers are now suggesting that Glutamine might be the most important of all amino acids as it provides a component in muscle metabolism and cellular support not shared by any other single amino acid. In addition to L-Glutamine, CPS incorporates Trans-Alanyl-Glutamine, which may be more optimally taken up into the blood stream providing for greater muscle tissue levels of L-Glutamine. For enhanced nutrient uptake, the patent-pending pH Balanced Alkaline Buering System pH-Sorb has been added, which is designed to directly influence the acidity level during metabolization, for optimal uptake and utilization.
