Glutamine Supplements For Bodybuilders

What is Glutamine?

Glutamine is an amino acid important for optimal muscle protein metabolism. During stress glutamine is released from skeletal muscle to support immune functions. The flow of glutamine out of muscles makes protein synthesis more difficult and can lead to muscle protein degradation. Supplementing with glutamine between meals is believed to improve muscle growth and overall health. Glutamine is most effective when consumed on an empty stomach or mixed with a low-fat protein shake.

How and when to take Glutamine

Glutamine should be taken post workout about 5-10 grams. Another good time to take Glutamine is in morning.
