Glutamine Description

Glutamine - Glutamine is an amino acid that until recently was thought to be a non-essential amino acid. Today this supplement is known to be very helpful, if not essential, in situations where the human body is under unusual stress, like when subjected to serious and prolonged exercise. In this connection, Glutamine is a muscle builder in terms of both muscle growth and in the repair of overused and damaged muscle tissue. Accordingly, for some individuals, such as seriously motivated body builders, Glutamine is more than essential.

Glutamine is thought popularly to enhance the benefit of exercise by making muscles bigger and by preserving existing muscle from damage. It is even touted as an anti-aging supplement. Glutamine is usually taken in powder form.
