And yes...if you weight train you definitely need to be supplementing w/ Glutamine. Glutamine is considered ta be the best amino acid. It's one of the few aminos that causes extra growth hormone to be released. And actually, your body needs Glut. just ta maintain proper function of your immune system. When you system doesn't get enough Glut your body then "robs" muscle tissue of glut and then basically your muscle starts ta break down and cell volume decreases. Most protein powders/meal replacements all "usually" have Glut in them but I don't think it's enough. So I usually have 2 shakes/per day and add in 3 grams of Glut. to my shakes. The best way to purchase your supplements is on line. Here's a few good sites ~ http://www.dpsnutrition.net/ http://www.nuttynutrition.com/ http://www.affordablesupplements.com/
