l-glutamine stimulates Growth Hormone

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7733028

Basically it looks like glutamine taken in isolation supresses FFA in the blood, which once again stimulates a nice GH response.

They used 2g but I suspect its dose dependent, I would imagine 5-10g would be optimal depending on body weight.

The study author speculates that the the smaller GH spikes are more beneficial becuase of the negative feedback loops associated with the large spikes.

Area under curve is likely important, but his theory does need testing.
