does glutamine block cortisol?

anyone?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it BLOCKS cortisol...

But strictly speaking...as any amino will....it can certainly help reduce the severity of a catabolic state - assuming you are not getting enough of it...

 

[anthrax]

cortisol breaks down protein

carbs suppress cortisol

L-Glutamine, as an anti-catabolic supp is not efficient (when taken orally)

then how am i supposed to take it?

the effervescent supposedly has some better resluts with some ppl......i can somewaht see why.....buffering your stomach acid......either that or you have to take about 40-60 grams a day on empty stomach to get anything serious out of it. Or in dieting it works relatively well. As far as mass i would find proteins high in glutamic acid......and also wheat gluten etc......

IV (intravenous)
but it is not worth

why do you want to take L-Glutamine ?

 

[killa in manila]

muscle recovery i suppose!

 

[FunkMasterFlex]

it works in certain conditions.....ive had success in dieting phases....glut does increase plasma lvls....regardless of doing anything or not.....

muscle recovery i suppose!

Anti-catabolism ?
I'd rather take BCAAs
