L-Glutamine: Need it to grow?

Get the best results from your workouts.
 
July 7, 2008 by Becky Holman  in Nutrition, Quick Tips

Do you train intensely? (You’re reading IRON MAN, so chances are you train very hard.) To get the best results from your workouts, it’s a good idea to take supplemental glutamine. You probably already know that it boosts the immune system, but get this: It’s also been shown to increase the amount of L-leucine in muscle tissue. Current research shows L-leucine emerging as the key essential amino acid in anabolic reactions. Try taking three grams before and after your workouts.
