What is glutamine, and how does it benefit the body during exercise and recovery? - #14788
I’ve been hearing about glutamine supplements for athletes, and I’m curious about how it helps with muscle recovery and performance. I know it’s an amino acid, but what exactly does it do in the body during intense workouts? What is glutamine, and how does it support muscle growth and recovery after exercise? I read that it’s essential for maintaining protein levels in the body—how does it affect muscle tissue repair and immune function during periods of high physical stress? I also want to know if glutamine supplementation is safe and effective. Does it improve endurance and reduce muscle soreness, or are there any risks of overuse, like digestive discomfort? Can glutamine help with other health benefits, like gut health or immune function? If anyone has taken glutamine, what results did you notice in terms of workout recovery, muscle growth, or overall performance? Did it help reduce soreness or improve your strength in training?
