Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I usually take in about 36 grams of glutamine a day. I was reading somewhere that more than 15grams is a waste. I don't take glutamine by itself, it's in my protein mix. I use Optimum Protein that has 4 grams of glutamic acid/glutamine and 22 grams of protein per serving. I usually drink about 9 servings a day, hence the 36 grams. That isn't too much is it. I higly reccomend this stuff, it also has a boat load of amino acids in it as well. Arginine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, etc......

I would say that you're wasting a lot of glutamine. From what I've read, the average amount that can be absorbed at once is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5g. So, unless you're taking it 7 times a day, that amount would definitely waste some. But, it's cheap shit to buy, so if you can tell a difference between 15g and 35g, then go for it.
In hospitals it is given IV so there is really no absorption problem. If that much is what it takes for you why quit. In the muscle-mages there has been a lot of controversy whether your intestines can really absorb that much or if it even leaves them- the small intestines use a lot of glutamine. Of course, glutamine peptides are absorbed alot easier and I have not seen any articles about too much not getting absorbed.
