Glutamine has a lot of possible benefits........gutamine plays a part in maintaining proper blood glucose levels and the right pH range, then is a strong support to boost the immune system, glutamine is the primary source of energy for the various cells of the immune system, including T cells and macrophages. Strenuous exercise, viral and bacterial infections, stress and trauma in general cause glutamine depletion that starves the immune cells. All are big eaters of this aminoacid! Glutamine helps to protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract known as the mucosa. So glutamine supplementation can maintains the health of the inner walls of the gastrointestinal tract and inhibits muscle wasting in critically ill patients (important anticatabolic properties that all we know).....this is from a more medical point of view, but all we also know about the anticatabolic properties that are where bbers have more interest or about the support to the glycogen restore or to the cell volume/idratation....but nothing of directly connected with fat burning.
So in short, glutamine is for:
- anticatabolic support
- glycogen restore
- immune sytem booster
- mantain a correct ph range
