What exactly is Glutamine and what is it good for? Should I cut with it or bulk with it?

Well, its sposed to stop lactic acid breakin down so much muscle after excersize, i got some aaaages ago an aint really bothered with it. Savin it till i decide im gonna do a bulkin stage.

The pack i got sez :

Glutamine is important in anabolic processes and cell volumization. It is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and carries the amino groups essential for re-growth and repair of all tissues. Glutamine levels are depleted during excersize and supplementation may prevent excess muscle breakdown

In short, i guess it means it stops all the hard work u do goin down the drain a bit by helpin u get more mass for ur work.

in short it helps with recovery. It is actually a very good thing to be taking when cutting, as it will help to preserve your muscle mass. Glutamine is not nessesarily a supplement that you will 'feel' working, although some people wont feel as sore the next day. For most people it is much the same as a vitamin, you cant feel it, but you know its doing good things.

It is also a very good thing to take while bulking. It will speed up recovery.
