What are amino acids?

The amino acids that make up proteins are divided into groups depending on whether our body can synthesize them on its own or not – so they must be supplied from the outside. The amino acids belonging to the first group are called endogenous, and those belonging to the second group are called exogenous or essential. Glutamine belongs to this first group of amino acids, the body is able to synthesize it from other amino acids.

Glutamine and muscle mass development

From the point of view of muscle mass development, the most important thing is the presence of essential amino acids. We already know that glutamine is not one of them, but does this mean that its consumption does not affect muscle protein synthesis? Well, if we look at the results of scientific studies, it turns out that they give encouraging conclusions.

Glutamine and muscle catabolism

Research shows that the effect of glutamine is particularly unique in terms of its impact on muscle catabolism. This amino acid protects muscles from proteolysis, such as that associated with exercise, and this is actually the case. The amino acid glutamine has a certain anti-catabolic and protective potential for muscle mass gains.

Other benefits of glutamine

In many cases, this amino acid can be a potentially valuable addition to the diet. It is worth knowing that a significant portion of glutamine ingested through the alimentary tract is captured by the cells of the small intestine. Although at first glance this seems like a disadvantage of the aforementioned measure, in fact it is not. Well, glutamine, which is the main and priority fuel for enterocytes, can affect the health of the intestinal epithelium.
