As the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue glutamine is essential for muscle growth. Your body can produce glutamine but any intense physical exercise or any form of prolonged stress can deplete the levels. This is why most informed nutrition experts now recommend using glutamine supplements. When glutamine levels fall a catabolic state exists & the body responds by robbing glutamine from other muscle groups. This is not ideal for maintaining balance & growth. To avoid this deficiency regular daily supplementation of glutamine will help combat the catabolic effects that result from hard training.
