What is NAG (N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine)?
N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine (Aceglutamite or NAG) is known in foreign countries
as an anti-ulcer drug that works by forming a protective layer over the
lining of the stomach. It accomplishes this by activating a chemical action
that serves as an anti-acid buffer while suppressing the secretion of
pepsin, a protein-digesting enzyme produced in the stomach.
More recent clinical research indicates Aceglutamide to be a psycho stimulant
while improving memory and the ability to concentrate in persons showing
signs of senile dementia. Chemically speaking, N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine is
the acetylated version of the most abundant amino acid found in skeletal
muscle tissue, which is glutamine. NAG is more stable in water and
metabolically efficient at delivering glutamines biological effects
over conventional Glutamine or Glutamine Peptides. NAG will also
play a dominant role in increasing muscle cell volume, glycogen storage,
and growth hormone production while simultaneously supporting ones own
immune system function. NAG is an extremely versatile compound with
a plethora of research that warrants its use in athletes besides of what
it is used for in clinical nutrition. The optimal dosage range is in the
neighborhood of around 1-5 grams per day taken on an empty stomach.
