MRM Nutrition was founded by Mark Olson in 1996. After noticing a lack of depth in the supplement industry, Mark set out to develop his own elegant formulas using "novel nutraceutical intermediates." Unlike other supplement brands, MRM is science-founded from the top down. They don't wait to see what the next fad or trend will be, they create them.

L-Glutamine is the most abundant "free" amino acid in the body, found in higher concentrations than other proteins (amino acids) in vital tissues such as the brain, intestinal mucosa cells, immune cells, and skeletal and smooth muscle. In muscle, the concentration of free glutamine appears to influence whether muscles will be broken down (catabolism – low glutamine content) or built up (anabolism – high glutamine content). Maintaining high blood levels of glutamine inactivates glutamine synthetase, preventing the breakdown of muscle tissue.

Glutamine is also known as a Nitrogen shuttle, a substance that picks up and drops off nitrogen around the body. Nitrogen is an essential component of DNA, the genetic material of life and muscle building. Glutamine is a prominent contributor to the functional integrity of the intestines and serves as an energy source for these high activity cells. In the cells of the immune system, glutamine is pivotal in their response to "foreign" challenges by serving both as metabolic fuel and as a precursor to RNA and DNA. Glutamine is the dominant amino acid in cerebrospinal fluid and readily enters the brain where it can serve as a precursor to neurotransmitters.

MRM's L-Glutamine is produced through fermentation by Japan's leading pharmaceutical production facility, and is not synthetically produced. MRM is dedicated to the furthering of nutritional modalities in the arena of Alternative Healthcare, with a staff of highly trained professionals committed to the development of innovative nutritional supplements that reflect sound, clinical and experimental data collection, interpretation, and application.

Glutamine is a glucogenic (glucose creating), nonessential amino acid that has multiple roles in the body. It is synthesized mainly in skeletal muscle and the liver and acts as a "nitrogen shuttle" between organs, a fuel for cells of the immune system and intestines, and a precursor for nucleotide synthesis. Glutamine is also a powerful cell volumizer, with an increase in cell volume stimulating anabolic pathways (synthesis of proteins and glycogen) and inhibiting catabolic pathways (protein degradation).

During times of stress, such as exercise, glutamine levels in the skeletal muscle are depleted. Restoring glutamine levels after exercise is vital to recovery and recuperation. L-Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and is highly concentrated in the brain, intestinal mucosal cells, immune cells, and skeletal and smooth muscles. It supports muscle growth, digestion, and immune health, and is vegan-friendly.
