Glutamine, the mother of all amino acids, has deservedly become the most popular amino acid to date. Glutamine is conditionally essential, meaning that during stress (like intensive training or illness) our muscles and immune system need so much glutamine that the body cannot produce enough and supplementation becomes necessary - glutamine becomes essential.
Studies have shown that continuous glutamine supplementation may decrease muscle breakdown. Another advantage si that it is one of the few amino acids that may considerably raise the natural growth hormone production in the body. Even 2 grams fo glutamine taken orally may quadruple GH levels.
