I've definitely noticed better recovery and better "muscle retention" over time when taking L-glutamine powder. However, I do think you have to take upwards of 20g per day because of poor oral bioavailability. Best time to take it is right before your workout, right after, and right before bed (your body uses it to repair itself).
I think arginine helps too... one question... is it true you shouldn't take arginine together with glutamine? Do they compete for absorption? I know I've read about certain amino acids doing this...not sure if it's these two.

Glutamine is a great for post-workout.
But i heard BCAA Complex 5050 (Dymatize Nutrition) is even a better post workout supp. It contains such goodies like, L-Valine, L-Leucine, and L-Isolecuine. Anyone know any more information?
Cell Mass (BSN) i found is better, but somewhat out dated. And BIG R.E.M. Matrix (CMI Nutrition) i heard is also good cause it puts you into deeper REM sleep, which is when your body releases its HGH.
These all contain some amount of glutamine, but from experience, L-glutamine is not nearly as strong as these other products.

How bout you hook us up with some of that good shit your using??? The cheap GNC stuff is probably garbage, and that is all I have really used. I do love my instantized BCAA tho. That shit makes all the difference in being able to walk after a squat session and limping the next day.
