Hello all,
I will have to do my homework on this one but the questions you are asking Phil are tricky in that as BrooklynJuice said, if you are consuming plenty of protein the body does not select particular amino acids for use by using all the glutamines or BCAA's for tissue repair (by the way 500g/day as stated by BrooklyJuice is not necessary for this physiology to take place, it happens even for kids who may eat little protein)....all the aminos go into a storage pool of amino acids and then are used as they are required....some aminos may even be broken down and reconfigured into aminos that are required. The required aminos for muscle repair, are a combination of the essential aminos...and non-essential aminos to rebuild lean tissue or support the immune system after a tough workout.
Anyone else have an opinion or remember this stuff from biochem class?
