Glutamine supplements have been a regular member of elite athletess supplement regime for some time primarily due to the fact that glutamine levels fall following intense training or exercise. These levels will not rise to full strength until complete recovery has occurred so supplementation can bring positive benefits. This "nano-glutamine" product from ASN has been created to help with this. 

A Scientific study on Glutamine found a two gram dose increased growth hormone (GH) levels by as much as 30 percent. The importance of glutamine has been known since the 1930s when Sir Hans Krebs, one of the pre-eminent biochemists of all time, discovered the citric acid cycle (now the "krebs cycle") which creatine is also involved in. However, Krebs was also the first to recognise glutamine's significance in nitrogen metabolism. Glutamine has now been recognised by doctors for providing significant contributions in preventing muscle degradation, improving protein synthesis, elevating GH levels, amongst others.

GH is an important  hormone, involved in protein synthesis, uptake of amino acids and the utilisation of fat for energy. Adding glutamine to your post workout recovery could be that missing factor for boosting your muscle growth and recovery to higher levels.
