The Fuel for Your Cellular Engine
L-Glutamine is a vital amino acid that serves as a direct precursor for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), a fundamental coenzyme found in every cell in your body. Think of NAD+ as the "empty taxi cab" that picks up and transports energy from the food you eat to your cellular power plants (the mitochondria), allowing them to produce the energy (ATP) that fuels everything you do.
As we age or undergo strenuous physical activity, our natural NAD+ levels can decline. By providing your body with a pure, high-quality source of L-Glutamine, Neva Red helps support your body's natural ability to produce NAD+, which is essential for boosting cellular energy, supporting DNA repair, and maintaining overall metabolic health.
Pharmaceutical-Grade, Zero Compromises
The term "pharmaceutical-grade" is a commitment to the highest standard of purity and potency. Unlike many food-grade supplements, Neva Red is formulated to be virtually free of impurities, most notably endotoxins.
What are endotoxins? Endotoxins are substances released from the cell walls of certain bacteria during the manufacturing process. Even in small amounts, these impurities can trigger inflammatory responses in the body. Neva Health ensures that our product meets a rigorous standard for purity, giving you the benefits of L-Glutamine without the potential challenges of unwanted contaminants.
Sourced from the Global Leader in Amino Science
To guarantee our commitment to purity, we source our L-Glutamine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) exclusively from Ajinomoto, a world-renowned Japanese company with over a century of leadership in amino acid research and manufacturing.
What sets Ajinomoto's L-Glutamine apart is their proprietary manufacturing process. They utilize a plant-based fermentation method and, crucially, an additional filtration step designed specifically to remove endotoxins. This extra step, which increases cost and is often skipped by other manufacturers, is non-negotiable for Neva Health. It ensures you receive the cleanest, highest-quality L-Glutamine available on the market.
How Neva Red Supports Your Body
The 5-gram dose of ultra-pure L-Glutamine in every stick pack of Neva Red works with your body's natural systems to deliver key benefits:
Increases NAD+ and Cellular Vitality: As a direct precursor, L-Glutamine provides the essential building blocks for your body to synthesize NAD+. This helps maintain the high NAD+/NADH ratio crucial for efficient energy production, cellular repair, and the activation of longevity-promoting enzymes like sirtuins.
Supports Muscle Recovery: Strenuous exercise is catabolic, meaning it breaks down muscle tissue. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is essential for protein synthesis and maintaining a positive nitrogen balance, which are critical processes for repairing muscle tissue and reducing recovery time after a workout.
Promotes Healthy Red Blood Cell Function: Red blood cells are under constant oxidative stress. L-Glutamine helps improve the NAD redox potential within these cells, strengthening their antioxidant defenses. This helps protect them from damage, supporting their integrity and their vital function of transporting oxygen throughout your body.
