Did you know that after an intense workout the body may be depleted of amino acids, which are necessary for repairing and building muscle? Glutamine is a very important amino acid that may need to be replenished after strenuous exercise. It can be found in protein powders, beans, meats, fish, poultry, dairy products, and in Glutamine supplements.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein molecules and are used by every cell in the body for many important functions. Amino acids support the body's proper functioning. Their role includes repairing muscles, organs, nails, hair, skin, ligaments and glands.
Glutamine may support healthy muscle recovery after intense exercise and it also may help maintain protein metabolism and growth hormone production.
