L-glutamine

L-glutamine is neesentsialna amino acid contained in protein, beans, meat, fish. It is an amino acid that is found in greatest quantity in the blood plasma - 30-35% and contains about 20% hydrogen in its structure, which makes the basic carrier of hydrogen to muscle cells. 
L-glutamine increased secretion of growth hormone and plays an important role in protein metabolism. When taken regularly, protects muscle from traumatic breakage and decay, but also ensure that muscle tissue will have enough for their development. Otherwise, the deficit is possible because other tissues in need of glutamine will use glutamine in the muscles. 
Studies have shown that after intense muscular effort level of glutamine in the body fell to 50 percent, so that its intake is best - take place after training. Then the amino acid contributes to:

-Restoration of muscle glycogen (taking turns easily into glucose without increasing blood sugar and insulin); 
-Increasing protein synthesis; 
-Enlargement of muscle cells; 
-Increasing levels of growth hormone; 
Daily dose of 10 grams for athletes is sufficient for optimization of muscle metabolism. It is believed that the optimal dose of glutamine is 0.2 grams per kilogram of weight (eg 80-pound person - 16 grams). Study is that doses up to 0.3 g per kg weight are harmless. Even the short reception were given by 0.5 g per kg of weight, without reported side effects for bodybuilders best option is to adopt about 30 minutes after the workout.
