Supplement scams over the years

L-Glutamine: effective only in IV form and at very high dosage (100-150G ED). All the tests I've seen were performed on burned/post-surgery patients. For the immune system it's ok...

Good point. Supplimenting with any non-essential amino acid is a waste. Studies have pretty consistently shown that oral administration of non-essential amino acids show no increase in protien synthesis, and little if any change in blood serum levels of any anabolic hormone. L-glutamine is poorly absorbed (less than 10% of it makes it into the bloodstream), and your body can readily make it on its own from other amino acids and/or glucose. Even peptided bonded glutamine is over rated, since a lbs of steak has 10-12 grams in it, thus its quite easy to get alot of it simply from one's diet.

Anyway, this a good thread, so it needs a bump.

The original hot stuff worked for me. I'm not sure what was in it but it worked for many people.
