Snuka,
I agree w/ Guy, based on studies, Glutamine intake before both cardio and lifting is crucial. Are you taking it on an empty stomach? Are you adding it to anything to increase absorption? These are things you should consider so you can prevent you intake from fighting for absorption. BUt Guy has a good point with his powder suggestion. I'd recommend Cytovol (EAS) next time. It only has 2.5 gr of Glut, but it also contains additives like AKG, Taurine, Alanine, and minimal sugars to help with absorption and additional cell volumization. What do you think?
