Glutamine: Should I take it?
Glutamine is an essential nutrient for anyone who trains hard on a
consistent basis. Glutamine is fundamental in the production of growth hormone.
It helps with protein synthesis and can speed recovery. A really good
L-glutamine supplement is
ProLab L-Glutamine. It’s the purest form of L-Glutamine.
When should I take Glutamine?
Glutamine is best taken immediately following a workout. It can go to work
immediately to speed up the recovery process, facilitate growth, and increase
protein synthesis. I’d recommend taking it with a good protein powder such as
American Whey.
Should I cycle Glutamine?
Glutamine, like protein powder is one of the few supplements available that
should be taken on a consistent basis without a layoff. Your body always
requires a constant supply of it and will perform better if glutamine levels
aren’t allowed to dip below normal.
