Is glutamine worth taking?

[Lowest]

If you can afford enough of it, yes it's good. I'd use it all the time except gear costs less since I homebrew it. Even if I capped powdered glutamine I couldn't afford it. Damn I need a better job, like being a street-corner dealer or something.

it helps me a lot but it is a personal thing... It totally helps me with recovery... When I am cutting and doing cardio in the morning and weights in the night I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with CRAZY muscle spasms... If I am taking the glumatine with amino and potassium that really helps to cut back the spasms and make them less intense... Sometime I am in tears trying to walk them off and they just come out of nowhere.

only when sick, or getting sick.

Same here, whenever I feel a cold comming up, I start glutamine at 40 grams a day and feel better within 2 days. Good for the immune system, but doesn't do much for muscle bulding.

L-glutamine has the oral bioavailabilty of a wax apple.

lol, its funny, cause it's true

As far as muscle cramp relief, I'd be far more vested in saying that its the Potassium supplementation that is the primary cause. Being that potassium plays a direct role in muscle function.

YES IT WORTHS !
LAck of glutamine makes u feel like u'd be overtrained .If u feel like that and u know there is no reason for that then it may be caused by lack of this aminoacid.It is very important for bodybuilders.Also it maintains u in good health , something related with imunity system.So u r less vulnerable to desease.I think 5 g after every workout its enough.

I've heard that Magnesium can also help with muscle cramping, but I have no studies to support it.

I find it is quite effective postworkout, particularly with insulin. The slin may help overcome the limited availability though I don't know much about that. I know that I hate to spend cash on any supps, but I fork it over for protien and glutamine. When I drop the glutamine I do notice a difference, particularly with respect to recovery and overall energy and wellbeing.

I recover faster when I use EnerG glutamine peptides. This time of year I wouldn't go without it. Not with all the flu viruses flying around.
