L-Glutamine - An amino acid (a protein building block) which is important along with glucose in supplying the brain with energy. L-glutamine has been used to help curb sugar and alcohol cravings, increase mental alertness, and to nutritionally boost the nervous system. It also has shown promise in the treatment of senility, depression and fatigue.

Scientific studies have shown that glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein metabolism. Its effects on replenishing the body after stress or trauma have been shown in Europe where it is commonly given to patients in hospitals. Glutamine's cell-volumizing effects have also been shown in several studies. A recent study showed up to a 400% increase in growth-hormone levels when a free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed!
