Glutamine

Lots of info: http://www.itmonline.org/arts/glutamine.htm

Not to be confused with glutamic acid or glutamate.

From: http://www.naturalnews.com/031811_glutamine_amino_acids.html#ixzz32xmnCg6d

Glutamine is found in many different foods with the highest levels found in grass-fed beef, bison, chicken, & free range eggs. Raw dairy products from grass-fed cows and goats are also very high in L-glutamine. This includes grass-fed, non-denatured whey protein powder, which is considered the most bioavailable form of L-glutamine from an animal source. Using an ample amount of this form of whey protein in a shake with coconut milk, berries, & cinnamon every day is a fantastic way to naturally boost L-glutamine levels.

Nausea from taking proteins

When you consume protein, your digestive system breaks it down to release its individual amino acids using specific digestive enzymes. Taking in more protein than these enzymes can handle at any one time may result in a backlog of food in your stomach until your digestive system catches up and processes the entire batch of protein you took in. This condition, known as indigestion, can cause symptoms such as nausea, which may continue as long as the undigested protein sits in your stomach.

Amino acid synthesis in the body

Methionine → Cysteine → Taurine

Methionine and others → Carnitine

Methionine and others → S-adenosylmethionine (SaMe)

Citrulline ® Arginine ® Nitric oxide (vasodilator)

Methionine ® Homocysteine (bad)

Creatine is found in small amounts in red meat and fish. However, much of it is destroyed by cooking. It’s also made naturally in the body from L-arginine, L-glycine and L-methionine, amino acids that are principally found in animal protein. Insulin is needed for creatine to enter muscles, so consuming carbohydrates with creatine may increase the amount of creatine available to muscles.

Taurine is synthesized in the body from methionine via cysteine. This process requires B6. Taurine is a main component of bile and is also found in the tissues of most animals. Concentrated sources of taurine are seafood and meat. Thus, a strict vegan diet may be devoid of this substance. (http://www.livestrong.com/article/299683-benefits-of-l-taurine/ and Nutritional medicine, Alan R Gaby MD)

Arginine is synthesized from citrulline by the sequential action of the cytosolic enzymes argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) and argininosuccinate lyase (ASL). In terms of energy, this is costly, as the synthesis of each molecule of argininosuccinate requires hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine monophosphate (AMP), i.e., two ATP equivalents. Taking an excess of arginine essentially gives more energy by saving ATPs that can be used elsewhere.
