Glutamine..what kind and where online to get it?

[doggmann]

it's $22.99 per pound, not kilo over at dps...protein factory has it, too...but a little more expensive...sportsone brand at dps....

you would think Protein factory would have it for cheaper... guess again... it's much more expensive from those guys.

they probally don't have it listed on there web site but if you request thier catalog, DPSnutrition has 1 kilo of glutamine peptides for 29$. the company that makes them is called
AR Nutrition.

I am currently using it and it's proven to be effective.

the only thing with glutamine peptides is they taste like shit and they don't mix well, but i usually mix mine with my protien shake.

i do the same w/ my peptides as well bro. Mine are also from DPS but i bought the sports one kind. They still taste like shit and mix very poorly so i throw them in the blender w/ my shake. Those little clusters piss me off when you don't have a blender... they'll stick to your teeth and roof of your mouth. i don't liek that

Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that makes up rougly 60% of your amino stores within your body. Though, when you encounter stress, either physical or mental, your glutamine stores are rapidly depleated. Because glutamine is important in triggering protein/glycogen synthesis, improving recovery, acts as an anti-catabolic, and improves gastroinintestinal function, it's a worth supplement to take.

I usually take my glutamine after my workout and before bed. Usually a 5-10 gram dose will do just fine. It's a great supplement for someone dieting, though for someone who's taking in a lot of protein powder, you could probably get by without it. The way I see it though, it can't hurt ya to take it, if you can afford it. It's definitely on the top 5 list of supplements in my opinion.
