Glutamine a waste of Money?

Review by james

There are many studies posted on pub med that say Glutamine has no benefit to building muscle or strength. Below you will find some quotes to these studies posted on PubMed.
We conclude that glutamine supplementation during resistance training has no significant effect on muscle performance, body composition or muscle protein degradation in young healthy adults. PubMed ID = 17111006
there is little support from controlled studies to recommend glutamine ingestion for enhanced immune function, and although glutamine stimulates muscle glycogen synthesis, its addition to carbohydrate supplements provides no additional benefit over ingestion of carbohydrate alone. PubMed ID = 11255141
Doing a search for Glutamine on PubMed you will find more studies that have similar results as the ones quoted here. I have used Glutamine in the past and it has always been one of those supplements where I thought to myself
is this even doing anything.
