Glutamine is the single most abundant amino acid in your body. It makes up 60 percent of your body's amino acid stores. You can deplete your glutamine by up to 50 percent with intense exercise, severe wounds or infectious diseases.
Glutamine boosts metabolism and fat burning, according to the Muscle & Fitness article “The Ten Supps You Can't Live Without” by Jim Stoppani. Not only does it increase fat burning when taken before and during exercise, it also boosts your resting metabolic rate. Taking even small amounts of L-glutamine increases the secretion of growth hormone, which is a potent fat burning substance.
