Proponents of glutamine say additional supplementation will build muscle, increase glycogen stores and improve immune system
However lets take your question a little further. Why not take just leucine, or just all 3 bcaa's....What purpose does it serve to consume all amino's....I dont have any research to show you(havent tried looking) but I would assume its because of this......
Yes leucine will signal the body for protein synthesis, however muscle tissue is made up of all the essential and non-essential amino's including bcaa's. So these amino's are required to build new tissue, or increase the size of existing tissue.....something like that......I've seen a thread in this forum a long time ago(probably been pruned) by Boyd(musclesntx) on this very topic.
