Is glutamine a waste of time? Need opinions.

[lardo5150]

I have used glutamine for awhile, and have read about it in flex magazine, on the boards, etc. I hear that it SHOULD be taken. Now I am reading that glutamine is a waste of money. What is everyone's opinion on this.

I think there is alot of stuff out there that doesn't do a damn thing,I'm not sure if this is one of them,but I too hear conflicting reports on it all the time.

its one of the best kept secrets those that know how good it is laugh when those who have not tried it bash it

its by far the best suppolement next to creatine, r-ala, protien powder ect

It should be banned.

Actually my feeling is, if it made a noticable difference it probably would be. I never noticed a damn difference. Took a couple grams a day for about 2 months. I'm only one person though.

Same here,took it for a year,off or on can't tell any difference.

dosage is the key actually high dosage is the key

when i am working out intensely 2x a day it helps sooooooo much its ridiculous

I think if it did yield results, you'd have to use mega-doses of peptides if anything.

my best experiences with glutamine came when using about 60grams of peptide bonding glutamine while working out 2x a day. lifting in the morning and then judo/mma at nite

it tasted awful but was well worth it

I recall Spatts saying that it is helpful with DOMS - but when you use the peptide form, not the usual stuff. G-plenish I think was the brand she referenced.

She is missed.

now called Ener-G

name change in reference to the good flavor it now has
