When do you take glutamine?

the hammmer · 03-20-2006, 03:04 PM

Pre-workout, post-workout? How much? Someone said it hurts protein absorption, is this true? Also what do you take it with? Gatorade?

I take it at night prior to going to bed.

If you take creatine also you would take glutamine pre and creatine post

If you would do a search, you would see probably 10 threads that were started asking the same question. I have responded to half of them, but am growing tired in my old age.

I take 5g upon waking, 5g post workout, and 5g before bed. Best to take it on an empty stomach as I have read, which is obviously not doable post workout.

I think Topolo would agree with me on this one. When my body is covered 70% by second and third degree burns, and I am incapacitated in the hospital.

Thats the only time Id allow money being put into that stuff, on my behalf. I wasted some good money on that stuff.

I dont use it anymore. It didnt work for me.

dontsurfonmytur · 03-27-2006, 04:00 PM

I say only use it when ur cutting (calorie deficit) cuz u wont be getting enough nutrients from regular food

juggernaut · 03-27-2006, 04:44 PM

yeah, but you can use EFAs for that-something that has been proven to work.
