Title: Glutamine and Glutaminic acid in N-Large
Post by: dan_123 on March 22, 2007, 08:57:15 AM

hey, im currently taking N-Large weightgainer protein and in that there is per serving:

L-Alanine: 2.50gm
L-Arginine: 1.30gm
L-Aspartic Acid: 5.37gm
L-Cystine: 1.03gm
L-Glutamic Acid: 8.61gm
L-Glycine: 1.00gm
L-Histidine: 1.00gm
L-Isoleucine (BCAA): 3.44gm
L-Leucine: 5.20gm
L-Lysine: 4.60gm
L-Methionine: 1.00gm
L-Phenylalanine: 1.50gm
L-Proline: 3.58gm
L-Serine: 2.81gm
L-Threonine: 3.89gm
L-Tryptophan: 1.05gm
L-Tyrosine: 1.27gm
L-Valine: 3.15gm

so my question is, should i start takeing a glutamine supplement? because i see that it already has a glutaminic acid in it....

and should i start taking an amino acid supplement?

thank you in advance

depends on how much money you have.

glutamin should be supplemented at about 30g per day.

I'd rather buy BCAAs.

N-Large² has whey as its sole protein source, and as whey tends to be high in glutamine/glutaminic acid, taking extra may not be necessary.
