L-glutamine supplamentation for faster recovery?

[commanderfink]

Ive seen some studies out there that l-glutamine post surgery helps for a better recovery.now the study wasn't about a ht but do you think it would help post op?

It's an Amino acid which is found throughout the body, it makes our immune system function correctly which will keep you healthier. If you're in good health you will usually recover from things quicker, so I would say it won't do any harm and has a good chance of a speedier recovery.
You can take the supplements or get it via foods such as beef, cabbage, milk,peanuts, poultry, spinach, soy and some others.

I would be interested in reading the studies as all I have read is about how it benefits the immune system and general health...... and I read somewhere it could possibly be beneficial to athletes and bodybuilders.
