Title: When to take Creatine/glutamine
Post by: Ledd on January 03, 2006, 04:19:52 PM: Hey guys I got some L-Glutamine and some creatine mono today. The glutamine is in powder form, 5g per serving. When and how often do you suggest I take them?

i think that glutamine is a waste if you're using a good whey protein, IMO.

I am essentially supplement ignorant but I thought that whey is good source of bcaa's, I didnt realize it included glutamine or is glutamine, or becomes or bcaa's become or some complicated bullshit like that. Why do supps have to be so damned confusing?!

a 45 or 50 gram serving of whey protein typically has 8-10 grams of glutamine it also has tons of BCAA's so you don't need either of those products IMO if you're using a good whey protein.

it's best absorbed post workout with some simple carbs, taken pre workout it should help a little bit with weight or a couple more reps.
