Glutamine

[whoisdaman]

The only place natural that you are going to find glutamine is your own body, your body produces large amounts of glutamine. But because bb need so much of it, we need extra sources. I believe the only place you will find it is in protein shakes and as a seperate suppliment. I heard once that glutamine is found in turkey, unknown source but it might be true. It is not that expensive as a suppliment, and 10 grams daily is not much at all. I actually make sure that I get enough, so I try and take 35 grams a day.... too much is not bad in this case.

Is glutamic acid in anyway related to the supplement glutamine and whoisdaman i already knew what you have said but thanks anyways..if it is you can find glutamine in many foods

[whoisdaman]

No, that is something completely different John. Glutamic Acid is found in many foods, and isn't a bb's best friend like good old glutamine. smilies/cheeburga_ron.gif

they are not completely different...

their relation is that glutamine is converted to glutamic acid when a protein is hydrolyzed.

L-Glutamine can be found in protein powders, beans, meats, fish, poultry, dairy products, and some plants (i.e. beets, carrots, and radishes).

This does not mean that you should go and try to get glutamic acid through these sources, b/c it will not react in the body the same way glutamine does. and most sources do not contain enough to reach the amounts needed daily. Glutamine should be supplemented.
