Glutamine is the most abundant of all non-essential amino acids
in the body. When the body is busy rebuilding tissue from
weight-lifting workouts, amino acids play an important role. Of
all of the amino acids, Glutamine is the most used. In this
article you can learn how this supplement can help you.

What glutamine does to the body 

Glutamine is the most abundant of all non-essential amino acids
in the body. When the body is busy rebuilding tissue from
weight-lifting workouts, amino acids play an important role. Of
all of the amino acids, Glutamine is the most used. It is also
an important fuel source for bodybuilding exercise and used for
maintaining normal immune function. The amino acid also
increases cell volume through hydration. It creates a anabolic
effect for positive growth because of the positive nitrogen
balance. It acts like a buffer by setting a negative charge
against the positive charge of acids. This in turn gives you
longer, more intense workout with less muscle soreness. 

Glutamine Side Effects

There is no adverse side effects. Too much Glutamine might be
counterproductive and can possibly reduce growth hormone
production.

Glutamine Facts

In one study, Glutamine supplements has increased Human Growth
Hormone by 430% It provides a positive nitrogen balance for
anabolic state. It helps produce high energy adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) for muscle contractions.

How to use Glutamine

The best time to take Glutamine is before and after a workout.
After a workout it should be mixed with a protein and
carbohydrate drink. Because whey protein is naturally high in
glutamine, it could be used for the after workout nutrition. It
is recommended to take between 6 to 10 grams per day for a
bodybuilder who trains on a regular schedule.
