Although Glutamine is know as a non essential amino acid or in other words your body has the ability to produce it’s own. Under certain situations this may have some merit however our skeletal muscles consist of a staggering 60% Glutamine, therefore during prolonged exercise Glutamine levels can quickly become depleted leaving you deficient restricting muscle growth and recovery
Glutamine is also used for many other functions throughout the body, further adding to the demand and as a result supplementing with Glutamine is recommended so as to ensure optimal levels of Glutamine are maintained at all times
Other benefits include:
Boosts Immunity
Prevents and Repairs Leaky Gut
Aids Digestion
Repairs Gut Lining
Supports Wound Healing including burns
Helps with recovery from surgery
Reduces duration of (DOMS) ‘Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness’ from intense exercise

As you can see regardless of whether you are an elite athlete, bodybuilder or someone just looking to improve/maintain general health and wellbeing many benefits can be expected from supplementing with Glutamine
Recommended serving size is between 10g to 15g per day
