Your intestines will thank you

Apparently glutamine is one of those pro secrets, a few friends of mine (that have pro cards) told me to take at least 20g of glutamine splt into two doses, one right after training and the other right before going to bed. ;)

keep telling some of you it was used in the hospital ::)
It's good to cut carb cravings to, take it 30 mins before meals does real good.
-
i take it in the morning and right after my workout. It really helps muscle recovery much faster

Isnt glutamine powder a waste of money if you are already taking a good protein powder which already contains glutamine?

Of course prootein has the complete BCAA's non and essential but when you take in more of metabolic optimizers than you are giving your body more of a good thing and the real building blocks of muscle. Metrx was the first to be fortified with glutamine, and now more protein powders are doing the same. Average 25gram protein intake has about 5 grams of glutamine.

That's what I'm always thinking. It's just an amino acid, and my protein powder is loaded with glutamine. Then there's all the amino acids in bodybuilding foods like cottage cheese...ect. I tried it - noticed nothing - conclusion: waste of money, considering I can get glutamine enriched whey for about the same price. :o

I'm willing to bet that if you take in protein powder before bed you'll be covered.

Yes, but I think glutamine peptides would cost less than having to buy casein. I bought glutamine peptides from German American Technologies months ago and I still havent run out.

I find it's cheaper just to buy a protein powder with glutamine.
