supplement glutamine: helps bone growth?

hi. i'm taking glutamine supplements for my athetlic performance. i heard that the supplement glutamine helps not only muscle growth but also muscle performance. i understand that it does help the muscles and that it is already naturally produced in our bodies, but i have also heard and read that glutamine is an amino acid that also helps trigger the secretion of HGH (human growth hormone). is that true? i also heard that glutamine triggers the secretions of HGH in higher quantity than usual. is that also true? could glutamine be used for not only muscle growth but also bone growth? thanks

1. It's true that some Amino Acids may help the body's natural production of growth hormone, but L-Glutamine is primarily beneficial for fueling the muscles, including the brain. It converts in the brain to Glutamic Acid, which is an essential neurotransmitter, so many people get benefits for focus and/or memory. If you're looking for Amino Acids that more directly help your body's production of growth hormone, you could try L-Arginine, L-Ornithine, L-Lysine, and/or Glycine. ...Oh, and none of those will help your bones grow larger or longer than your DNA says they will be.
