SUPPLEMENT WITH GLUTAMINE.

Glutamine is an amino acid and the most abundant one in the human body. When you supplement it, you provide your body with many advantages including enhanced recovery and stronger immune response. Most importantly for our purposes here, though, glutamine helps improve digestion, helping to make your body more regular. While you get glutamine from the protein foods that you consume, most bodybuilders don’t get enough of this particular amino from their diets.

Taking additional glutamine will help your body process and absorb the protein you’re providing to it. For best results start with 1¬–2 daily doses of about 5 grams of glutamine so that you’re taking in a total of 5–10 grams of glutamine per day. Each week, add about 5 grams per day, working up toward a maximal dosage of four daily doses of 5–10 grams, with a total of up to about 30 grams. Once you feel you’ve reached a state of digestive regularity, you can continue to take that dosage rather than striving for the maximal daily intake.
