Glutamine is the most common amino acid in most proteins, including your muscle protein and the food you eat. It's converted to sugar (and in some cases made FROM sugar) by the body as needed. Taking it works best for sparing muscle tissue while dieting I think.

Most of the time you get plenty in the food you eat, so taking extra won't help you that much.

Maybe. Basically the benefits of Glutamine in terms of the bodybuilder are debatable. There's benefits to burn victims and others of tramatic injuries but tissue breakdown.. from working out? There's a MASSIVE thread in the supplement forum.

I've taken it. Not taken it. Noticed nothing. It's one of the supplements that I think has a lot of reserach behind it but not much for the bodybuilder.

It's not worthless. But it's value for those pursuing muscle gains.. well.. that's debatable.

I'd assume that it's most likely to be beneficial when you're cutting.

Also...

In my protein supplement (I take Isopure Zero Carb) with every serving, they include 4.6grams of Glutamine. I take that shake 2 times a day...supplement alone I'm already getting 9.2 grams a day.

What I'm saying is you may already be getting all the Glutamine you need with your shake....check the label to be sure...

It is probably the one supplement that I DID see results. Since I started supplementing with glutamine, my strength is better than ever, and I have put on size.

I have lifted for 20 years, and this is one of the best supplements for me.
