From the bottle. Here is what it says [brand of Glutamine is AllMax Nutrition]:

'During times of stress, including exercise and athletic events, glutamine is one of the first amino acids to be oxidized. Supplementation with glutamine has been shown to support muscle glutamine levels, help prevent muscle tissue breakdown and increase recovery'

This is not ALL it says, but the part that made me think this would be good for me right now

Over-training ia a real possibility. However its already been a week off and I'd like to get back at it, but not hurt myself again
