Bringing illness into our house.
This season has been unbelievable.
And it's funny because this season has been the worst for all of my friends.
Like everyone's been sick.
Crushed.
Yeah.
Everyone's been sick.
We haven't.
I put it in my coffee or, you know, my tea.
And it does, you can, the coffee, if you put, like, monk fruit or stevia, you won't taste it.
But it does have a taste.
As you probably know, you probably remember, it does have a taste.
I just put it, like, in that much water and just down it.
Now what's it supposed to do for muscle recovery?
I just wonder how much of the glutamine, you know, because I remember, gosh, it's been so long.
I did some of these like substrate labeling studies and it was like, you know, a lot of it's getting converted into glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate and being used as energy.
So it's fascinating.
You kind of wonder how much of the glutamine that you're taking in
is going as an amino acid versus the energy source.
That's a great question.
