It may very well be. Gluatmine is often overlooked and underestimated, but it touts a never-ending lists of benefits for the active body. Glutamine boosts growth-hormone productive, reduces muscle soreness after a tough session, ensures quicker recovery, supports the body thoughtout stress, kick-starts protein synthesis, enhances muscle, reinforces the immune system and strengthens and supports certain internal organs. Glutamine is naturally produced within the body, but often the amount our bodies produce isn't enough because intense exercise and stress deplete our body's glutamine stores, which is found in our skeletal-muscle stores. One stressful situation alone can rob our glutamine stores by more than 50 percent. Glutamine is powerful in restoring plasma growth-hormone levels. In one study, nine participants were given a two-gram serving of glutamine 45 minutes after a light breakfast and their plasma growth-hormone levels increased by 430 percent after 30 minutes and returned to normal after 90 minutes. Who should consider supplementing glutamine? Anyone who is training, under stress, injured, ill, or under going surgery.
