 Next question is from Browell Art. Is there any value in taking glutamine? Glutamine, you know, glutamine was a huge bodybuilding supplement in the 90s, especially maybe early 2000s. So the philosophy was this. Well, first off, they had studies showing that burn victims who were given glutamine would heal faster than if they weren't given the glutamine. And so the bodybuilding community, of course, the supplement industry took that and said, oh, it helps with recovery. Oh, plus here's another selling tool. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in skeletal muscle. So it must mean we can take glutamine and get all kinds of incredible results. It doesn't work that way. Glutamine does help a little bit when you're under tremendous amounts of stress, when you're teetering on overtraining. But it's pretty small. It's not really significant. If your protein intake is high, it's probably not gonna make a difference. Here's where glutamine can be beneficial. Immune and gut health function in many cases, the gut actually uses a majority of glutamine in repair. So what you find now is glutamine is more of a gut health immune supplement than it is for bodybuilding. Yeah, but is that all canceled if you're taking either a BCAA already or you're taking a protein shake? Or you're getting adequate protein? Not BCAA, because those are three other amino acids. But if you took a... Oh, that's right. Glutamine is not in the BCAA. No, it's not even essential. It's a non-essential amino acid. But if you took, if you had, for example, in gut health and immune studies, they find that whey protein is beneficial. Whey protein is naturally high in glutamine and the branched amino acids. So would it give you the same results? I would probably say yes. Here's where amino acids get kind of interesting, especially like the branched amino acids and glutamine. If your protein intake is low, then you may benefit. So who would I have supplement with amino acids? Vegans. Always. As a trainer, when I had vegan clients, because it was pretty rare that they could get their protein up pretty high unless they supplemented with protein, I would have them take branched amino acids and glutamine before and after their workouts and they would notice... So glutamine and creatine then. Yeah, creatine, glutamine, leucine, isoleucine, and valine, right? The branched amino acids. And they would notice benefits or maybe just the essential amino acids, right? Which include the branched chain ones. But if your protein intake's high, not really. Like if you're listening to this and you're working out and you're doing everything right and then you add glutamine to your supplements, you're probably not gonna notice anything. By the way, since we just had the other question right before this, if I had to compare which ones I prefer, I would lean more towards the sauna and the cold plunge than I would glutamine. Oh, right, yeah. Personally. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I would agree with that. You know what your amino acids, I like to utilize. My protein intake takes high, so I really don't supplement with too many amino acids. But I do like theanine on an empty stomach with caffeine. That's a totally different thing though. You got me to fall in love with that. I really like that. Yeah, but other than that, amino acids, if your protein intake's high, not tons of value, if it's low, then you can find some interesting things with individual amino acids happening. By the way, you can take too many, by the way. Like too many branched amino acids can cause reductions in serotonin because of the way they compete. You get depressed, right? I've heard. Yeah, because they compete with the production of serotonin, with tryptophan, I think, which is part of that creation. And so they'll find, like, I used to do this. I would drink branched amino acids all day. So I thought, oh, the more, the merrier. And I was kind of like, People are still doing that. I know. Literally, I'd have a jug of water and I'd pour my, and that was it. I'd drink it all day long. And it was kind of flat. I noticed I needed more caffeine. Then I learned about that and I was like, oh, okay. I think I'm taking too many. Hey, if you enjoyed that clip, you can find the full episode here or you can find other clips over here.
