Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is known for its recovery benefits. What does the research say about glutamine? Current research suggests that glutamine may be beneficial for decreasing delayed-onset muscle soreness and muscle damage. This is especially clear in highly competitive athletes and athletes that are more susceptible to overreaching or overtraining. In addition, glutamine is highly glucogenic, meaning that it is easily converted to glucose to supply energy when demands from carbohydrates or fats have not been met.

I would recommend 5-10g of glutamine a day if you are an athlete that suffers from chronic muscle soreness or is in a dieting phase to support metabolic demands of training.
