Glutamine

[fyyer]

How useful is glutamine for me and my body? If I took it on a daily basis, what are the advantages?

 

[diamonddiceclay]

it should only be taken on lifting days-all it does is aid recovery

 

[fyyer]

And cardio days? Because I have very intense cardio as well.

you should take glutamine all the time, at least 10 grams/day. In addition to aiding in new muscle production, it will help you to preserve muscle mass on a low cal diet and is also an immune system booster.

don't need it on cardio days because you don't get muscle breakdown from cardio

It's the amino acid most abundant in skeletal muscle. Makes sense to supplement with it.

Glutamine should be taken everyday. You dont recover only on workout days....

I think this is pretty dead on wrong. Cardio is CATABOLIC and WILL CAUSE muscle breakdowns. It is needed MORE on cardio days than on REST days for this reason! It should be taken everyday!

glutamine is good

its the most abundant amino acid in mucle fibers. I need to add some.

Yep, glutamine is one supplement I wont go without again. I think it helps me recover, and keeps me from getting sick as often. I recommend taking about 10g per day regardless of lifting or cardio schedules. Up to 20g a day would be great if you could afford it. Take it on an empty stomach when possible, to aid in absorption, or at least a couple of hours after a meal about 15 min before your next one. Good stuff!-WULF

What the hell?

 

[solidspine]

I take it everyday, I feel it helps my recovery, plain and simple.

 

[macDbol]

would be sweet if glutamine was the same price of protein per pound

 

[trial0r]

What the hell?

HAH

dude take glutamine everyday...i stopped taking it for a while cause i thought it was a waste of money but i definitley noticed a difference and now that im lowering my carb intake to try and drop some fat before my next cycle its the only thing keeping my muscles full.

everyday...i used to do 5mg before workout 10mg after. you might like more or less

 

[tony20md]

So

So before and after workout is best? 10 before 10 after? or should i go less? and on off days better to take before and after cardio?

 

[Themachine01]

definately everyday. I do 10mg in the morning and 10 post workout.
