About Glutahenz 10G Injection
Glutahenz 10G Injection also known as alanylglutamine, is a dipeptide molecule, consisting of L-glutamine and L-alanine, two amino acids. Glutahenz 10G Injection is sometimes supplemented for prolonged physical exercise as it can enhance electrolyte absorption and improve endurance and performance. Tests on rodents suggest Glutahenz 10G Injection is more successful at increasing muscular glutamine levels after supplementation than glutamine itself. This is because glutamine is absorbed better via the liver and intestines after supplementation. Since Glutahenz 10G Injection is a dipeptide molecule it means that it contains more than one amino acid for the intestines to absorb, allowing glutamine to reach the muscles.

Current studies on Glutahenz 10G Injection use a dose of 1-3g a day. Overdosage of Glutahenz 10G Injection may result in chills, nausea and vomiting.
