Reasons for Taking Glutamine
QUESTION: I’m a bit of a newbie to supplements, but why do so many people use glutamine?
ANSWER: It’s pretty simple: The main reason people use glutamine is to support better recovery. During and after intense exercise, glutamine levels drop and this can impair muscle tissue repair and immune system strength. By restoring glutamine levels through supplementation, you can help prevent muscle tissue breakdown and a weakened immune system. Glutamine isn’t one of those supplements you’ll necessarily feel working right away, but it does provide excellent recovery benefits when used during intense training phases.
