Glutamine

Kaleo 808 · 05-07-2009, 03:54 AM

I went out and bought a bottle of glutamine and started mix it with my protien, the instructions on the glutamine bottle lists that should me taken once daily. Should I be following those instructions, or is it ok to double the dosage on it? Much mahalo's...

You don't need it, you are just wasting your money.

Odds are your protein has 10x the glutamine of what your adding so don't worry about it.

To reiterate a few of the key points that Dave brought up in his article and that I brought up at the SWIS seminar:

• A high protein diet provides a big whack of glutamine as it is. In fact, if you follow standard bodybuilding protein recommendations, about 10% of your total dietary protein intake is composed of glutamine (milk proteins are composed of somewhere between 3 — 10% glutamine while meat is composed of about 15% glutamine). This means that a high protein diet (400g/day) already provides me with about 40g of glutamine.

• While the theorists still cling to the idea that since glutamine helps clinical stress, it might help with exercise stress, it’s important to note that exercise stress has got nothin’ on surgery, cancer, sepsis, burns, etc. For example, when compared with downhill running or weight lifting, urinary nitrogen loss is 15x (1400%) greater in minor surgery, 25x (2400%) greater in major surgery, and 33x (3200%) greater in sepsis. When it comes to the immune response, it’s about 9x (800%) greater with surgery. When it comes to metabolic increase, it’s 7x (600%) greater with burn injury, and when it comes to creatine kinase release; it’s about 2x (100%) greater with surgery. As I said, exercise has got nothin’ on real, clinical stress. It’s like trying to compare the damage inflicted by a peashooter and that inflicted by a rocket launcher.

• The major studies examining glutamine supplementation in otherwise healthy weightlifters have shown no effect. In the study by Candow et al (2001), 0.9g of supplemental glutamine/kg/day had no impact on muscle performance, body composition, and protein degradation. Folks, that's 90g per day for some lifters.

glutamine depends on what your doing.

if you have a high protein diet and your going to the gym once or twice a week you should be fine

especially because proteins like muscle milk for example have glutamine in it

however if you an athlete or someone who puts a lot of stress on your body (workouts) then glutamine is a good addition to your supplement program.
someone like this will deplete the glutamine levels in there body to a level lower than just an average person.

plus glutamine helps support your immune system.
