    When do you take glutamine?

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

    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.

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