I highly recommend anyone who is considering supplementing with Glutamine to either take it intra/during or post-workout on a regular basis. Glutamine is a great supplement for any person suffering from insulin sensitivity or has complications maintaining blood sugar levels on a regular basis. If you are diabetic and have low blood sugar, many issues can come about. This is a huge advantage for anyone who is diabetic, as maintaining high sugar levels within the bloodstream is important for daily functions. When this happens, insulin levels will be suppressed, which means less sugar will be used up. This is a great advantage because higher levels of HGH results in an increase in muscle tissue, a decrease in body fat, and an increase in metabolic activity within our body.

By taking glutamine intra or post-workout, you will prevent the body from breaking down muscle tissue to be used as energy and will allow you to maintain more lean muscle mass.īy taking glutamine post-workout, you also help increase the production of natural HGH or human growth hormone within the body. Many studies have shown that by taking glutamine post-workout with either your post-workout protein shake or simply by itself, helps prevent the body from using muscle as energy and continues to use carbohydrates, even when you are in a low carbohydrate-depleted state. However, since most people only obtain glutamine through one’s diet, it is common that many weightlifters do not consume an adequate amount of glutamine that their body requires to maximize performance. When we expend energy into our workout, we also end up using glutamine within our body simply to help with muscle building and recovery during the aftermath of a workout. When we exercise, our body requires energy to be used and expended in order to keep on exercising at the intensity we are performing at. Since glutamine is considered an essential amino acid, this means that it must be consumed through our diet as our body cannot produce glutamine for itself. Glutamine is commonly found in large amounts within the bloodstream and helps with the production of nitrogen.


Glutamine, or L-Glutamine is one of the many amino acids that is a building block of protein.
