Glutamine
Almost everyone is familiar with the idea that glutamine is great for muscle recovery, but it is often under utilized in this instance. Glutamine is also a favorite source for your liver, used to make glucose when consuming low amounts of carbs, therefore can help you stay anti-catabolic on a low carb diet. Glutamine is also a favorite source of fuel for the intestines, making it vital for a healthy digestive system. Glutamine is an alkalizing amino acid and it helps to improve glutathione levels in the body, the body’s most powerful anti-oxidant. Glutamine is a processor of amino acids to glutamate and GABA which are neurotransmitters – glutamate being the most exciting and energizing, GABA the most calming and increases slow wave sleep and growth hormone release. If you are not using post-workout carbs, 20-30g of glutamine can help replenish glycogen inside the anabolic window. 2-5g of glutamine at night can help improve GABA and sleep, up to 100g a day can help repair a damaged gut lining.
