Glutamine There are 2 products.

Glutamine is a crucial supplement for athletes and bodybuilders. Glutamine is a non essential amino acid, meaning that glutamine is produced naturally by the body, and it is also found in protein rich foods such as chicken, beef, fish, eggs, parsley, spinach and beans. These natural sources of glutamine are not adequate though for athletes or bodybuilders, as the body's supply is rapidly depleted after exercise.

Glutamine may be referred to as an anti-catabolic amino as it assists in preventing the breakdown of muscle tissue. As well as being an effective supplement for athletes, glutamine is widely administered by hospitals to patients suffering from cancer, AIDS and other illnesses in order to prevent muscle wastage.

When the body is placed under physical stress, such as exercise, the body will utilise all available stores of glutamine, resulting in its depletion. As athletes and bodybuilders burn through more glutamine than the average person, these natural sources are often just not enough. The recommended dosage for glutamine supplementation is 5 - 25 grams per day, and is best taken post workout when the muscles are at their weakest. Glutamine stacks well with other creatine supplements and post workout proteins.

As well as preventing the breakdown of muscles, glutamine may also provide increased: immunity, mood elevation and mental and physical energy.
