BCAA & Glutamine Supplements: Support for Recovery & Growth

The synergism between the two (BCAA and Glutamine) arises because not only do they both produce many of the same anabolic and anti-catabolic actions, but under stressful situations BCAA's may directly add to glutamine reserves by acting as donors to glutamine production. A very low dosage combination of BCAA (3 grammes) and glutamine (5 grammes) given during training was found to induce a 2-pound higher growth in muscle mass and greater improvements in strength compared to consuming whey protein alone in athletes.
