this is a good explanation of whatt WILL boost glutamine production in your body, and it comes right down to BCAA's

Researchers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, noted that triathletes, who participate in grueling triathlons consisting of distance swimming, cycling, and running, were depleting their stores of glutamine. It would seem that the answer to this would be to supplement the athletes with glutamine. But the researchers found that this did not work.


"Glutamine supplementation fails to [keep] plasma glutamine levels constant," senior researcher Luis Costa Rosa, PhD, tells WebMD. Costa Rosa is the head of the Laboratory of Metabolism and lecturer at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Sao Paulo. The researchers decided to give supplements of BCAA to the triathletes who were participating in the Sao Paulo International Triathlons in April 1997 and 1998. BCAA is a combination of three amino acids -- leucine, isoleucine, and valine -- which are responsible for the synthesis of glutamine in the blood. In other words, it enables glutamine to be produced naturally.
 
just eat plenty of chicken. Cheaper, tastier, and works better for glutamine concentrations.
