L-glutamine

fet123 · 04-25-2006, 07:43 AM

I bought this product recently in capsules each is 500mg, in the directions in the back it says to eat 1 daily. Anyone has any recommendation on how many to kae and when?

Personally I think Glutamine is worthless.

But an ideal daily dose would be 15-20 grams a day (so 30-40 pill in your case)

AM
Pre Workout
Post Workout

15-20g per day if you want the benefits of it (if there is any)

I know I take it

Glutamine can assist your body in absorbing creatine and in digesting other supplements. It is also used by the body in rebuilding and repairing muscle. Take it when you take creatine. If you don't use creatine, take it after you workout.

If Glutamine is useless, what do you recommend instead?

BCAA's or EAA's.

I second the recommendation for BCAAs or EAAs.

*SOUND* advice. You get enough glutamine in food and whey based protein supplements. Too much is as bad as too little.
