BCAA's & co-factors   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2947 of 3442 |
Hi there,

I don't know if anyone's stumbled across any research on this they could
point me towards, but as you probably all know BCAA's needs B6 & glutamic
acid as co-factors to be burned as energy.
What I was wondering was L-glutamine is glutamic acid with B6 (& ammonia)
added, so if you took BCAA's with l-glutamine would the l-glutamine be
broken down (either in the digestive system or within the body somewhere),
or would you need to find a separate source of B6 & glutamic acid to get the
best effect when supplementing with BCAA's???
Sorry to be asking such a basic question, but I haven't been able to find
the answer anywhere....
