Glutamine w/ ON Whey Protein
Is there any point in supplementing by nutrition intake with glutamine powder, if I'm already taking Optimum Nutrition's Whey Protein. ON contains 4082 mg/scoop of "glutamine and precursors."
And by the way, what does 'precursors' mean?

Precursors of glutamine is for example :glutamic acid that is converted in the liver to glutamine.

I dunno. Glutemine helps your body absorb protein and can be really beneficial to people with bum joints.

glucosamine is for joints.
glutamine is really only beneficial to those with digestive disorders or those with severe calorie restriction or those with HIV or burn victims.
