Hey y'all(oops my southern draw is coming out! )
I have a quick question..and I hope it's not a dumb question. Ok here it goes. What is Glutamine? And what does it do for you?
I hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks.

Glutamine is an amino acid. Protein's are made up of amino acids in a long chain.

The human body is about 60% glutamine (or 60% of our protein, i forget), so most people supplement their protein intake with some glutamine.

So exactly what does it do for you? Does it do the same thing as protein?
