L-Glutamine is an amino acid suspected to be an important factor in aiding the body in dealing with physical stress and recovery from injury/trauma. Since bodybuilders are constantly putting their bodies under significant physical stress, it makes sense that glutamine would be beneficial for muscle building applications.

It has been scientifically established that low levels of glutamine in the body are associated with muscle loss and depletion. In other words, supplementing with glutamine helps maintain muscle growth and may help to rebuild muscle after a workout.

Unfortunately real-world evidence of the impact of glutamine is spotty. Lab studies show it may work, but no bodybuilder will tell you that it is going to build significant muscle. It may, however, be useful in preventing loss of muscle or overtraining.

Since there doesn't seem to be any harm in taking glutamine, I reccomend using BSN CellMass because it includes creatine, whey protein, glutamine, and several other popular supplements into one good-tasting mix.

If you want straight up glutamine, go for the budget approach - either Higher Power L-Glutamine or EAS L-Glutamine.
