Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the body and it’s considered to be conditionally essential during times when the body undergoes large amounts of stress and is an advanced recovery and immune system support, according to Betancourt (New York, NY).

Having a heavy workout regimen you burn all the glutamine your body produces, at this point your body may need more glutamine than it can produce making supplementation advantageous, according to the nutrition company founded in 2002 by former bodybuilding champion Jorge Betancourt.

Betancourt noted that the glutamine blend featuring Sustamine, manufactured by Kyowa Hakko USA, promotes L-glutamine delivery, supports muscle maintenance and supports the immune system.

“Glutamine supplementation may support the removal of waste products in the body, digestion and immune system function,” reported Betancourt, adding stress on the body can also result in inadequate amounts of alanine, which along with glutamine, is considered to be the most one of the important of the amino acids for actual amino acid metabolism.
