L-Glutamine and the immune system
Ive had a minor head cold for 2.5 weeks now, and I stubbornly refuse to seek medical attention after what happened last time I went to the doc.
The guys at work have been trying to shove L-Glutamine down my throat claiming it helps with the immune system.
Ive got no idea, and will do my own research but also like to know what you lot think.
Truth or myth?

i think the dosage has be a little higher if you are taking it in supplemental form though. It isn't what you take, it is what you absorb. It's not like you are walking down to the hospital to get hit up with an IV of glutamine.
