' I spoon it straight into my mouth immediately after training' said dirty Yates in the 90's... I knew a few lads splash out for it genuinely thinking it was vital..

Glutamine is great to feed gut bacteria, leading to a stronger immune system.
However, because its a non-essential amino acid, the body will produce as much as it needs.
Some studies have shown supplementation is beneficial, but only if your gut bacteria is WAY out of whack. If you have a healthy gut, you don't need to supplement.

Its a valid question and Because is 2017 I'm asking this question...there's STILL a bunch of  people and serious athletes out there taking Glutamine  ,it if is a waste of money or not that's another story ...  you're probably more stupid than the question if you deny that ........

unless it something you wouldnt notice (like most vitamines and minerals)
or maybe you just need to up the dosage.

You eliminate what doesn't work, or you carry on spending money by living in blind faith it is doing somthing, it not just supps, there's several drugs and peptides that I've treat in the same fashion..

None of this bullshit see gains in 6month, toe nails growing rubbish, take somthing have an honest run, keep everything the same and drop it.... If your the same in a few months time youd be a moron to spend money on it again

I usually take 6 grams, add a touch of water and vaseline, roll it into a ball and shove it up my anus for full absorption.  Give it a try.

i think a lot of people use a mix of many things hard to know what does what.

price is the major factor for me, any supplement that last 2 weeks and you need to do month after months to get results i avoid.

This is another waste of money, if you are eating plenty of protein then your body already has all the bcaas it needs

I feel it aids in gut health, recovery, helps keep my immune system healthy, plenty of bcaa's in chicken, beef, fish, eggs..not to mention all the artificial sweeteners.

Over the counter supplements aren't really that expensive, they add to my health and fitness, and hardly put a dent in my net worth.

Athletes

Athletes who train for endurance events (like marathons) may reduce the amount of glutamine in their bodies. It is common for them to catch a cold after an athletic event. Some experts think that may be because of the role glutamine plays in the immune system. For this select group of athletes, one study showed that taking glutamine supplements resulted in fewer infections. The same is not true, however, for exercisers who work out at a moderate intensity.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Glutamine helps protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract known as the mucosa. For that reason, some researchers believe that people who have IBD (ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease) may not have enough glutamine. However, two clinical trials found that taking glutamine supplements did not improve symptoms of Crohn disease.

As you can see glutamine is a waste of money for a bodybuilder and you taking it for gut health would be like a person with no pain taking a painkiller.

I'm not a bodybuilder, I train like an athlete, I run or swim every morning for an hour, I enjoy endurance athletics, when in Hawaii I surf/hike/paddle board...when it comes to lifting yes, I lift like a bodybuilder, but I expend a ton of calories from my cardio everyday, so I honestly feel and see what glutamine has done for me, now..if I was a bodybuilder just lifting once a day and maybe doing slow walking cardio, I might not incorporate glutamine in my diet, or atleast a lot less.
