HOW MUCH GLUTAMINE DO YOU GUYS TAKE IN A 24 HR PERIOD

 

[shooter]

I put about 5 grams in my post workout shake.

I no longer take Glutamine as a supplement.

you shouldn't add glutamine with protein post workout because your body wont absorb it due to competeing amino acids. I take glucose and glutamine(10g) mixed with water, half during workout and half immedietly when i finish. 20mins later i take my protein. glut peptides are ok to take with protein though.

Glutamine at bedtime is important

Can you elaborate on this?

prince. he might be refering to the studies that glutamine raises your growth hormone levels while you sleep.not sure though?

Hey guys...sorry I'm late to the party...

L-glutamine is NOT absorbed too well when consumed with whole proteins, but in the peptide form, is utilized completely. Amongst it's benefits are increased glutathione formation(this is a super important anti-oxidant), improved immune function, increased glycogen deposition, increased nitrogen retention and transport, and increased growth hormone output.

Best times to take glutamine include upon rising, pre-workout, post-workout, and before bed. Use the L form on an empty stomach 30 minutes before meals, or the peptide form on an empty tummy or with meals.

15-20 grams a day is a good amount as our guts are "glutamine hogs" and will try to steal most of our glutamine. As much as 40 grams a day is very useful.

thanks GP. the clouds have been lifted.

That's exactly what I mean Tank. Many "Bed Time" recovery formulas include Glumatine for that particular reason.

Do a search Prince...the studies are there! I will see if I can find a couple when I get a chance as well!

Yes, I could search for it...but if someone is going to post telling me there are studies I guess I would hope that they could tell me where they are, or post them here!

I understand what you are saying. I just know that sometimes I will read a study in a journal or on the web, and retain all the info about the study, but forget where the study was. Unless, of course, I am specifically looking to reference an article or something
