L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is involved in many metabolic processes. Skeletal muscles are the primary sites of glutamine concentration. There is an increased demand for glutamine during stress associated with exercise, illness or trauma. Glutamine also serves as a fuel source for intestinal mucosal cells and nucleotide production by lymphocytes (cells that are part of the immune system). It encourages protein synthesis and, as a result, athletes can look forward to enhanced rates of muscle growth and surprisingly quick recuperation following intensive workouts. L-Glutamine is categorized as a non-essential amino acid (produced by the body), however, more and more researchers today classify L-Glutamine as a conditionally essential nutrient because physical requirements are increased under certain conditions.
