Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid (which means the body can produce it) it is stored mainly in the muscles but can also be found in the liver, lungs, brain and blood.
Glutamine is also the most abundant amino acid found in muscle tissue so if you want to build muscle then you really should consider supplementing with glutamine as each weight training session expends tremendous amounts which must be replaced in order to repair and build muscle tissue properly and although glutamine is found in foods it is in very small amounts hence the need to take a glutamine supplement.
Glutamine supplementation has been found to be able to increase levels of growth hormone secretion reduce muscle soreness and aid in muscle growth. Taking extra glutamine has been found to stop the body from breaking down muscle (also known as muscle catabolism) to create glutamine for other parts of the body and improve protein metabolism.
After a strenuous workout or even the day after if you experience muscle soreness or stiffness then your body is glutamine deficient the recommended dose is for approx 12 grams per day taken evenly throughout the day and half of that for women it is probably the most under rated sports nutrition supplement available it is easy to take and not expensive for the benefits and gains it can provide you with.

Glutamine is a remarkable amino acid. It can be helpful with gastrointestinal health which is important to the bodybuilder. It's not just bodybuilding foods you eat, but what you digest and assimilate into your system. Gastrointestinal health is vital to good assimilation. Glutamine can also help with memory, focus, concentration and stress tolerance. As with any supplement, use it in consultation with your licensed health care professional.
