BEST BY Date 2/2008. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and more than 20% of total circulating amino acids. This conditionally essential amino acid is extremely important in overall health, athletics and in building and maintaining muscle. Glutamine supplementation can be used to reverse this condition by promoting nitrogen retention and preventing muscle loss and immune system down regulation. Supplementation of this amino acid can also markedly improve testosterone to cortisol ratios and thus, potentially increase muscle mass. Additionally, glutamine can also increase anabolism (muscle building) by increasing muscle cell volume.
