When one exercises, the body burns glucose and glycogen for energy. This burning of glucose and glycogen produces lactic acid. When left unchecked, lactic acid can make the muscles so acidic that they no longer contract. Glutamine plays a vital role in regulating the body's acid-base balance. Glutamine helps produce bicarbonate ions that neutralize lactic acid. Adequate amounts of glutamine may allow one to train longer and achieve greater exercise intensity.
