L-Glutamine Question
Ok everyone. Sorry if this was posted already, but can someone educate me on this so I know If Im right or not?
L-Glutamine helps to relieve muscle cramps correct? So what is it actually "Supplementing"? Can you actually obtain what this supplement provides through protein shakes and meats?
I had a really bad thigh cramp for about 30 minutes this morning, and in need and in search of who on earth would have L-Glutamine with them (since in the past it has worked for me immediately after taking), I thought this "fitness freak" guy that I work with would be the only one in the office that might have a stash of supps in his drawer or something. Not really a weird thought since he is a water nazi and wont speak to anyone unless they drink a gallon of water a day (ex-personal trainer and cant let go I guess)
So when I asked him if he took it, he goes, no I dont take any supplements because my protein smoothies and meats take care of that.
???
Did he understand what L-Glutamine was? Or am I the one misunderstanding?

The amount of glutamine in natural food is damn low compared to the 20 or more grams people take in now.

Many of the meal replacements on the market now have L-glut in them... if they don't some people add it in seperate... but it sounds to me like you might have a pottasium problem. Are you taking a multi vit?

I was taking it, but I recently ran out. Im just wondering where he was getting his L-Glut intake from. He uses "All the Whey" I think. It was just news to me that you can obtain L-Glut through protein powder and meats.
How so is my question..

The human body has a way of storing very high amounts of Glutamine to enhance recovery and muscle power, but it is very difficult to actually eat enough food to provide an ergogenic effect (Ergogenic aids are substances that aim to enhance performance through effects on energy, alertness, or body composition.) that supplementation will.

There is no storage capacity for L-Glutamine in the body.Originally posted by ah1

The body will utilize whatever amount is ingested. That is why the body is constantly trying to make L-Glutamine 24/7 and 365 days a year. It is the most used non-essential amino acid in the body as every cell can utilize it. If you were to take 500 grams of L-Glutamine today your body would utilize all 500 grams and tomorrow it would still be manufacturing it because there is never enough...I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Your muscles are the major storage site for glutamine. When your body needs glutamine for its many metabolic functions such as immune support and ammonia scavenging it gets it from your muscles. When it does this (which is all the time) it’s catabolic to muscle tissue. Supplementing with glutamine supports your body's numerous metabolic needs and prevents muscle breakdown while enhancing the anabolic effects.If you are turning to the bodybuilding magazines for truthful advice of supplements, you're being ripped from both ends. You’re being lied to from ads that are disguised as articles and you are getting lied to from the ads themselves.
