I believe...

You believe in oral glutamine?
... it will sell!!!
As to whether it is necessary, if someone is taking in adequate protein from mixed sources, giving them plently of glutamine... I don't think it will make a difference in most cases.
If you are overtraining (at least if you are an endurance athlete), supplemental glutamine may help with immune function. When I am dieting, I do have a tendency to overtrain (and get sick).
FYI, I also don't believe that creatine will do much good if you are already eating plenty of meat. It does seem to help speed glycogen synthesis, however, so it is good for carb-ups when in the depleted state, I "believe"
If you are referring to scientific evidence to support a "belief," - it is not required. Belief is unconditional knowledge that requires no proof (and is often unprovable).
I do not know of any studies (at least ones I trust) showing that protein supplementation to give totals above 1.8g / kg / day will enhance muscle mass gain w/ wt. training. The definitive studies have not been done to my knowledge.
What I do believe is that BB'ing is a game of inches. If, on a daily basis, you can accumulate 7 g of protein in newlys synthesize contractile protein (in skeletal muscle), you will have gained about 25 lb of muscle in 1 year (muscle is 3/4 water). That's a protein balance of +7g per day. Eat 500g / day, oxidize and use for repair / replacement the 493g of that, incorporate / ratain 7 g of it and you're a "new (wo)man" in 1 year.
But, of the ingredient in my proposed "Synthegain(er)", I would make glytamine lost on my list. I simply was thinking of sellability, as well as that Snthetek will be selling each of the ingredients I listed (with the exception of carbohydrate, which is easy enought to come by).
More later - gotta run!
