What is glutamine and why is glutamine supplementation useful for athletes?
Glutamine is one of the so-called non-essential amino acids because the body can produce glutamine itself from other amino acids when needed. Glutamine is the amino acid that is most commonly found in free form in the body. In the amino acid pool of the blood plasma, glutamine makes up 20% of the free amino acids and of the amino acids present in free form in the skeletal muscles, glutamine accounts for as much as 50 to 60%. These high amounts of free glutamine are due to the fact that the body requires large amounts of glutamine for many bodily functions, with the immune system and digestive system being particularly dependent on glutamine. Glutamine also plays a very important role in the body's protein metabolism.

Although the body can generally produce glutamine itself when needed, there are situations in which the body cannot produce enough glutamine to meet the increased demand. These situations include factors such as severe stress, illness and intensive training (11). Scientific studies have also shown that the glutamine level in the body can be reduced by up to 50% after an intensive training session and that it can take several hours after training for the glutamine level to return to normal (8). For these reasons, glutamine is sometimes referred to as a conditionally essential amino acid, which means that in certain situations glutamine becomes an essential amino acid that must be supplied from outside.

But what exactly happens when the body needs more glutamine than it can produce itself? Since the body urgently needs glutamine for important bodily functions such as the function of the immune system and the digestive tract, reduced immune system function can occur, among other things. What may be even worse for hard-training bodybuilders is that when the body needs more glutamine than it can produce, it begins to break down muscle protein to get directly to the glutamine it contains and branched-chain amino acids for the synthesis of glutamine to receive (9)! A glutamine deficiency can result in catabolic muscle breakdown, which would be a nightmare scenario for any bodybuilder.

Fortunately, studies have shown that oral glutamine intake can meet the body's increased glutamine needs and prevent muscle protein breakdown while optimizing protein metabolism. When glutamine is also combined with glucose, studies have shown that this can result in an increase in plasma glutamine levels by up to 200% (4)

So it's up to you whether you want to fall into a catabolic hole after training due to training-induced depletion of your glutamine stores and lose muscle mass first, or whether you want to start building muscle mass straight away.
