Glutamine first of all in an amino acid, so there's no magic or craziness behind it. It
is an awesome, post workout powder that most people put in their shakes or what have you,
or take it by pill. Post workout because it's gonna aid in the recovery of the muscle tissue
you just damaged or you broke down and you wanna help rebuild it. It's also tremendous
before hand and I think a lot of people miss the boat on that part. Because A, it can be
converted to glucose, so if the body needs energy, it's gonna go to what's in the blood
before it goes to break itself down. You don't want it to break down your muscle tissue to
get energy so it's gonna go to, it's gonna go to that first. It's gonna go to the glucose
from the glutamine and that's gonna be great. Also it will help, may help prevent cortisol
release because during high energy levels, when you work out a lot, you know your blood
sugar levels will drop and that drop in blood sugar will release cortisol and that being
said, cortisol is catabolic or breaks down muscle tissue. Pretty much counter productive
to everybody's goal whether you're an athlete or whether you're my mom. You really wanna
increase your lean body mass, your muscle. Because the more muscle you have the more
fat you burn. SO that's the way people really wanna change their bodies. Weight loss is
really not the key. But the point is, if you can prevent that cortisol from being released
then that's gonna be tremendous. So you can take the glutamine before and you can also
then take it after and the after is just gonna be just tremendous just to help recover and
help repair what you just damaged when you worked out.
