Benefits of Glutamine
I just found a link to this article at the Yahoo Schwarzbein group. It was very interesting and way too long to post here. So here's the link:
http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag99/sep99-report3.html
And the summarizing paragraph:

There are many reasons for taking glutamine: healthier intestines, a stronger immune system, bigger muscles, better blood sugar control and a more agile brain. For therapeutic uses, glutamine is especially recommended for people who suffer from intestinal problems, frequent NSAID users who need to protect their gastrointestinal tract, those with immune dysfunction, and anyone under heavy stress (including strenuous exercise) or recovering from injury or other trauma. It may also be helpful as adjunct therapy in the treatment of addictions such as alcoholism.

The article discusses all the actions and benefits of glutamine, many more than just muscle building/recovery. It also cautions diabetics and some others not to use it or only under medical supervision.
