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

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.
