Is it worth it to go buy a tub of some Glutamine? I'd probably be taking in an extra 10g between a PWO shake and a shake at some other point every day.... right now i lift 4 days a week.

i know most of the benefits- recovery and immune support.... but is it found in foods?
do you think its worth it? do you take it?

thanks

I used to take glutamine regularly, FOR A LONG TIME, it provides no benefits that BCAA's could not, at leasdt in the realm of anti-muscle wasting effects

I'm using the last of a bottle, I see no difference in recovery time from when I didn't take it.

I take 5g first thing in the morning, 5g pre- and post-workout, and 5g before bed. It is good for decreasing recovery time and soreness, but it is best for its anti-catabolic properties. It is cheapest to get at www.customnutritionwarehouse.com

Just a secret, nothing works. Protein, glutamine, creatine, you name it. Sponcered bodybuilders have rooms full of this shit because they can't give it away fast enough. Multi-vitamins are your best bet for supps but don't go crazy with them. I just saved you and your colon a lot of money, go buy some food or take your girlfriend out for dinner, you will get full and you might get lucky.
Here comes the firestorm!

Sounds like you don't respond well....
Either that or you are a complete moron who doesn't use anything correctly.

I will agree to disagree with you about glutamine. As long as all my clients take it, and do better than without it I am happy!

That's pretty hard to do considering Johnnny has the top 4. Good job Jasone!

If somebody has the extra dough for it, I say take it, by all means. However, I see more benefit in spending the money elsewhere.
