Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid found in the muscles of the body and possibly the most important amino for all strength athletes and bodybuilder. L-Glutamine is readily available when needed for the synthesis of skeletal muscle proteins, glycogen and retaining nitrogen. This can help to build and maintain muscle, useful for dieters and bodybuilders. L-Glutamine also helps to prevent muscle-wasting during times of stress(e.g., weightlifting, injury, illness). This can lead to the loss of skeletal muscle. If enough glutamine is available, however, this can be prevented. It also assists in the synthesis of RNA-DNA and helps to clear ammonia from the tissues.
