A clinical study by Dr. Jay Hoffman, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Health and Exercise Science at the College of New Jersey, has shown Sustamine L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, from Kyowa Hakko, increases performance in endurance exercise and activity. The study was published on February 3, 2010, in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN)
Data showed significant performance reduction occurred when exercising to exhaustion in subjects’ hypohydrated to 2.5% of body mass. When subjects ingested the Sustamine supplement during the rehydration period the magnitude of performance reduction was significantly less compared to the dehydrated condition. Water alone did not appear to significantly off-set the performance reduction.
The study showed the efficacy of Sustamine L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine ingestion during Hydration Stress under intense exercise. The clinical study covered the ability of Sustamine L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine to enhance fluid regulation in healthy, active individuals in relation to both endurance and high intensity exercise. Further discussion focuses on the potential ergogenic benefit that Sustamine has under these exercise and hydration stresses. The role that this dipeptide has on the inflammatory, immune and recovery responses to these stresses was also examined.
