Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in your body. It is highly concentrated in the skeletal muscles and it plays an important role in protein metabolism, your body’s ability to use protein. Since protein is the building block for muscles, you need adequate amounts of glutamine in order to increase your muscle mass and to protect your muscles from catabolism (muscle breakdown). Glutamine can help:
*Improve your bodys ability to use protein
*Support muscle development (anabolism)
*Decrease muscle breakdown (catabolism)
*Decrease recovery time needed after a workout
*Increase muscle cell hydration for fuller, firmer, more defined muscles
*Boost your immune system
*Support a healthy digestive system
