If the Romanian team performs well in the Olympics, it could be down to a new ingredient in their food and drink.
The team has exclusive use of a high glutamine wheat protein isolate, Gempro HiQ, marketed by Nash Nutritionals, which helps to rebuild and repair muscle and boost the immune system. Unlike most naturally found glutamine, which is unstable in solution and is not heat tolerant, Gempro HiQ withstands processing and has the same bio-availability.
Another potential application is in the treatment of degenerative diseases such as mellitus type 2 diabetes. The company intends to collaborate on developing food products containing the ingredient.
