my label of AST "ULTRA NASTY" flavor L-Glutamine, it says take 10 grams before workout and 10 grams after... it claims to be pure HPLC tested pharmaceutical grade powder...
Perhaps we are talking about different absorbtion rates with pills to powder...

Must definately be different HDM... My point here is that just because one person takes 20grams, it is not safe to assume that it is safe or appropriate for everyone to take 20.
The key here is, "follow your directions". Different manufacturers and products can vary greatly

The safest way is to ask the pharmacist or call the manufacturer of your product. Tell them you are bodybuilding, and ask them how much you should take. Mine recommends 8 grams a day.. I take half of that. One thing is I know I'm not taking more than I need. I would rather take less then to much, until I find out specifically.
Then let me know... I am curious too?
If it was absorbtion rate I would think it would be the opposite.
The higher dosage should be applied to the pill form since it would have a slower absorbtion rate wouldn't you think? Since powder is absorbed much quicker, I would think it would require a lower dosage
well, there has to be some difference, the pill forms have much lower recommended doses then the powder... hmm...
Exactly...
Even YOUR god gopro takes around 15 grams per day if I remember correctly, since that seems to be important to you. 
As I said I take 3 servings of 5 grams each, for a total of 15 grams per day. I think it's important to space it out thru out the day, otherwise you will end up with expensive piss! The the only time you might want to go higher is immediately following a work-out.
If you only want to take 5 grams per day for whatever reason, price or you think it's enough, I would definitely take that 5 gram dose with your post training work-out shake.

Prince, Thanks for the information.
But, am I hallucinating? I could of swore you recommended somewhere to take Glutamine with food? You said it caused problems with your brain or something like that? Cause I was going to say that my bottle explicitly recommends to take without food. Also I wanted to ask you if your taking Glutamine or L-Glutamine? And what are the instructions on your bottle? Mine say to take up to only 8mb daily... that if 4 tablets twice a day at 1000mb each. Now HoldDaMayo's Glutamine bottle says to take 10mb twice daily... Now that seems to be a big difference. I feel uncomfortable taking 15 grams like you recommend when my bottle says 8mb max.. But HoldDaMayo's says 20MB recommended. He would probably feel like he is getting cheated if he drops down to 15. So what is right???? I'm confused .

Tank,
I didn't know it was recommended to take both Glutamine and L-Glutamine . Does what your taking, coorespond to what the instructions on your bottle say?

I can respect that Tank .
The head personal trainer in our gym tells everyone to take 40 grams of L-Glutamine with their post workout shake. He has been trained by Charles Poliquin so I have to give him some credibility. This is also based on a no/low carb diet. The MRM bottle has 1,000 1gram servings.
Well it looks like I need to get down to the health store to scout out another brand of L-Glutamine.. Because if I took that much with my bottle I would only have a 2.5 day supply at 11.00 a bottle. That would cost me roughly 1606.00 dollars a year....
Nope, there has to be a better solution than that

Yes, I posted this above:
Glutamine when ingested on an empty stomach acts as a growth hormone secretagogue via its excitotoxic metabolite glutamate. Glutamate acts by stimulating the hypothalamus to secrete growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) which causes the pituitary to release growth hormone (GH). Sharp increases in brain glutamate levels are hazardous to the brain and nervous system and glutamine GH supplementation may create sharp increases in brain glutamate levels. Glutamine GH supplementation therefore poses a risk to the nervous system.
I take L-Glutamine, and to be honest with you I do not think I ever even read the bottle.
Thanks for unclouding my brain on this subject
