You are obese and you are concerned about glutamine. Forget about the glutamine and focus on the Weight Watchers.

Have tried it but do not currently use it. Just get on the treadmill for a couple hours a day and stop stuffing your face and you will be fine.

I recommend cattle implants.  Glutamine sounds like something for your butt.

I recently picked up a protein powder on clearance, 100% whey peptides with additional 10g glutamine per scoop, wasn't bad. Can't tell if it did anything for recovery, but i slept better.

It doesn't work, dont waste money on it. Best muscle recovery is the amount of sleep.

I take it because it's cheap and you get a lot of servings out of it although Im not sure if it even does anything since your body produces glutamine and you get it through shakes and foods. It's supposed to be good for gut health whatever the fuck that means.

The only persons who will benefit from glutamine are typically critically ill patients in the hospital. Usually burn victims. Glutamine is often administered via IV. All of the studies showing it's efficacy were done on- you guessed it, critically ill patients.

As a food type supplement, it's dodgey at best. If you have a depleted glutamine pool, I suppose it will help, but I cannot imagine a catabolic state severe enough that your body cannot manufacture/store it on it's own which you could create by training or dieting.

Spend the money on some steak and egg whites.

 its actually quite healthy, esecially for the gut, just useless for muscle growth.. something like 90% of any ingested glutamine is turned into sugar before it ever reaches the bloodstream.. dont quote me on that figure though

You should take glutamine sublingual anyways, just take a teaspoon of the stuff in the mouth, put it under the tongue and wait until it's gone, or squash around the mouth. It will take a few minutes then it's gone, and won't get absorbed by the gut.

So you presume powder glutamine will be absorbed sublingually why exactly? Do you even know how small particles need to be in order to be absorbed in this fashion?

Yes, there are a few, most Gold's have one inside, and there are a few others, plus the bigger sport shops usually tend to have a supplement section.

But the stuff is fucking expensive, talk about 150 $$ for 2kg of Whey protein at Gold's, 50-60$$ for 500g creatine and so on. Much better to order directly from the US over the internet.

I took the glutamine/creatine "secret stack" back in the day and I achieved my absolute peak condition, but looking back on it now, it wasn't from glutimine/creatine this glutamine/creatine "secret stack", it was mainly from hard, consistant, progressive, volumized training and cheeseburgers and fries lol

Exactly, only thing positive i can say about supplement is the placebo effect. it caused me to train harder sometime.

So you think people uses glutamine as a fat burner?
