    Is Glutamine worth the money?

    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.

    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!

    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.
