Glutamine

Glutamine is the most abundant naturally-occurring, non-essential amino acid in the human body. It is found in the blood as well as skeletal muscles. It is essential from food or supplements in states of illness or injury. Glutamine's biggest strength is that it is a precursor for rapidly dividing immune cells, thus aiding in immune function. People who are prone to getting sick should experiment with glutamine.

There are constant debates over whether Glutamine supports muscular development in bodybuilders. Many swear by it, but others do not. The best way is to find out by supplementing 5g pre-workout (possibly with other BCAAs, creatine, and Nitric Oxide) and 5g immediately post-workout (with creatine, BCAAs, and Waxy Maize). Glutamine is best absorbed on an empty stomach, such as before breakfast and 20 minutes before your bedtime meal.

It is not unheard of for large bodybuilders to take 25g glutamine a day (on an empty stomach between and before meals), and to raise it to as high as 50g if getting sick.
