Glutamine isn’t just used as a workout supplement. It’s also used for:
- irritable bowel syndromes,
- ulcerative colitis,
- celiac disease,
- ulcers,
- leaky gut,
- speeds up the healing process and immune system.

What are the benefits of Glutamine?

I have found countless websites that state how Glutamine helps prevent you from getting sick. I beleive public gyms are one of the top places you can get sick from.
After you work out your Glutamine levels can be striped up to 50%. So instead of your body taking the Glutamine out of your muscles, you can replace your Glutamine from your pre and after work out shakes.
