Glutamine is an important amino acid that is present in our bodies in large amounts. it is a “non-essential” amino acid, i.e. the body is able to make it out of other amino acids, if needed. The glutamine levels go down in periods of stress or physical strain.

As glutamine is believed to play a role in building muscles, there have been a lot of discussions around it. Some believe that it plays a critical role in the post work-out muscle recovery and some are more skeptical.

It is not yet proven beyond any doubt that glutamine enhances glycogen stores following training, that it helps protein synthesis and cell volumizing. However it helps restore testosterone levels and it is believed to help keep and build lean mass in weight loss programs.

One of the best known benefits for health in general is the strengthening effect for the immune system. You can recover from illness faster if proper glutamine levels are present in your body.

In terms of timing, the best moments to have a glutamine serving are in the morning, after a workout and at night, before you go to sleep.
