Clinical studies suggest that glutamine can support muscle recovery after strenuous exercise. For this reason, glutamine supplements make up a large share of the bodybuilding supplements sector.
Eight men were assigned to consume one of four beverages containing free-form L-glutamine, hydrolyzed wheat protein, water, or Sustamine, a branded L-alanyl-L-glutamine ingredient from Kyowa Hakko USA (New York City).
While blood levels of glutamine increased with each supplementation form, Sustamine consumption provided a glutamine increase 224% that of free-form glutamine. Furthermore, Sustamine provided a glutamine absorption into the blood twice as long as when subjects consumed free-form glutamine or hydrolyzed wheat protein.
The study has been published in the journal Nutrition Research.
