If you are one of those guys who religiously reads bodybuilding magazines looking for the latest bodybuilding “edge”… then I have some sad news for you regarding Glutamine…

But before I rock the boat… you will definitely see “Glutamine” listed in the top 5 supplements bodybuilders must have, in every issue of bodybuilding and muscle magazines.

And why not? Glutamine is a moneymaker for them.

But does glutamine really deliver? I do not think…

And I think you’ll be better served if you stick with the basic creatine supplements, protein powders, multivitamins, and fish oil capsules. And speaking as a skinny guy on a budget… I really think he’s just wasting money on glutamine.

I don’t think glutamine has any effect on your muscle building efforts. But I am so I…

Here’s the dirty, low glutamine story…

You see, glutamine makes up about 66% of the amino acids in our body…and guess what? Your body makes it so it doesn’t need any external input… and yes… when you exercise… the amino acid pool in our muscles gets depleted…

And I guess this is where the theory that you need to replenish your glutamine levels comes into play…

But… There is NO research that can show evidence of the benefits of taking glutamines. Especially for skinny guys like you and me.

And glutamine users probably spend over $1000 a year in the mistaken belief that it is helping their muscle building workouts.

If taking Glutamine has any positive effect… it would be only for certain conditions and situations… but otherwise it’s a huge waste of money that you can redirect to buying better quality food to help you gain weight.
