| It improves the uptake of protein and other nutrients, such as creatine and glutamine. |
| The amino acids glutamine and tyrosine will improve concentration, retention and a sense of alertness. |
| However, adding soy can boost any protein shake due to its high content of glutamine and arginine. |
| Without adequate amounts of the amino acid glutamine, however, protein synthesis may not occur. |
| Ammonium is then incorporated into amino acids via glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase. |
| Their proper functioning is dependent on glutamine as a metabolic fuel for growth and proliferation. |
