Glutamine Supplements and why you should be using one.
Glutamine is the most abundant non essential amino acid in your body. In the body it is found in the blood stream and it is stored in skeletal muscles as well. In fact, over 61% of skeletal muscle tissue is comprised of glutamine. It is involved in more metabolic functions than any other amino acid and can also be converted by the body to glucose when more is needed as an energy source.
Most protein foods such as beans meats and dairy products, contain glutamine. It’s also found in cabbage, beets, spinach, parsley and in some fermented foods like miso.

Glutamine is in high demand throughout the body and is used for a variety of different things. The immune system and digestive systems rely heavily on the amino acid and it is essential for proper protein metabolism. It also becomes very important in times of injury or illness.
Supplementing with glutamine is effective for most intense athletes. Weight lifters and endurance athletes should consider a glutamine supplement for better immune system function, increased stamina, and to prevent muscle breakdown.
After an intense work out glutamine levels in the body can be diminished by up to 50%. Supplementing with glutamine can help prevent muscle breakdown by other areas of the body which steal the glutamine stored in the skeletal muscles for use elsewhere in the body. Bodybuilders and endurance athletes can also improve there immune function by supplementing with glutamine.
Glutamine can also be a very beneficial supplement in times of injury or illness, reducing hospital stay times and recovery times after abdominal surgery.
Glutamine supplements are available at most health stores. As with any supplement please check with your physician before implementing.
