too much l-glutamine

[rez]

is there a limit per day? would there be anything wrong with taking more than the daily recommendation?

 

[Stryc-9]

Probably won't hurt you...probably won't help you much either...

There's a debate about how well your body can absorb powdered l-glutamine anyway - but I've heard of guys at my gym taking upwards of 60 grams a day (divided into 10 gram doses) - don't ask me how they afford it because that stuff is expensive...

I recall that you're cutting....so I'd take it on an empty stomach (first thing in the morning) and make sure to add some b6 (might help with absorption) if there isn't any already included (some brands don't have B6)...

I really don't think anything over 20 grams a day is gonna make a difference.

too much glutamine could kick you out of ketosis

 

[MS]

Glutamine is an amino acid so it has ~4 calories per gram. As long as you add these calories to your daily total (so 60g would be an extra 240 calories), drink LOTS of water (it will dehydrate you) and are not on a ketogenic diet, you should be fine.

No real limit that people can set. I usually recommend, for immunological properties, at least 0.1 g per 1lb. of bodyweight, so a 100lb. person would take in 10g per day. It's a crude way to do it, but the only way I figured out over the net.

mr x deleted my sharing of product knowledge with you, but I understand his job

any way its OSMO glutramine, I presonally love it

 

[Mr.X]

he's saying that his "glutamine" is better then "other" brands of glutamine, that's all.

Trust me REZ, they are all the same......

hey mallacca!
Look, my Glutamine is not on the market yet, but there isssssssss a difference.
by the way I just got the data sheets today, and sample packs....
and the data shows a stark difference to what popluar brands do to theirs, and what I do to mine......just like how protien powders are different, so goes the same with glutamines.


any way .......... lalalalalalaal

you will be proved wrong in the future my man.......

OMEGA,

I know what Mallacca means......I read fluent greek.....

On a side note, you will be right when you show me the studies coparing the top 5 brands and the lowest 5 brands (like proteinfactory) to your product. MOLECULAR studies not just human studies, then I'll be w/ you on calling it the best.

email me if you wish:

OMEGA,

Your a good sport =)

when I get things up and running wich will be 2 months or so, we can find the truth, I have no problem in being wrong by the way,
I take this stuff, and I am giving my word its not placebo effect their something special about it....I know its sound gay coming from a 24 year old optimist, but their is something special, I don't care if I make a buck form this stuff, thats not the point, the point IS to SHARE.........

Hmmm, I'm still waiting to see convincing evidence that even INTRAVENOUS glutamine has some positive effect in otherwise healthy bodybuilders on a high protein diet (in terms of either anabolism or anti-catabolism). As to anecdotal affidavits that one type of ORAL glutamine is superior to others, I really have to ask "better in what respect???" How can you possibly measure the benefits compared to other glutamines, and how can you possibly rule out placebo effect which is, by definition, dependant on the persons perceptions and expectations of what a supplement/drug MIGHT accomplish.

I mean you no disrespect OMEGA. It's just that in my field of work, the placebo effect is a HUGE and complicating factor in figuring out the value of even pharmaceutically administered drugs in double blind cross over placebo trials.......And in my personal experience, there is no population more prone to "the placebo effect" than bodybuilders.

MS would you like to try 15 ounces of this stuff on me?
I can mail you part of the batch that I just got, and YOU can be the judge

It will be enough to get a taste of if it works or not, trust me.....

it will all be on me, the mailing and the stuff itself

its handles in sanitary conditions so safety is not an issue

You offered the same to me a while back, but I never heard from you. Can you guarantee it's safety? Is it in a bottle?

my brand has no cals, no carbs etc..just l-glutamine.
i take about three-four serves a day depending if im home or not...it helps me with digestion.

 

[Ceebs]

my brand has no cals

Yes it does. It is an amino acid, therefore it has calories.

The supplement companies claim that it's not a COMPLETE form of a protein, so it can be recorded w/ 0 cal if it falls below the 10cal benchmark. It's a "hidden" calorie ordeal in your case.

Mr.X

well the supplyer gave me the data sheet, and in the back it gaurantess its safety, but if you get it from me I can next day it to you too Mr.X, but legally I don't know how safe it is for me to do so?

But my word is good, so if you don't sue me, I'll send you some,

my parter is a lwyer for the state of California, so maybe I should ask first, but yes the offer is still extended to you, and MS

why exactly does glutamine kick you out of ketosis? is it because of gluconeogenesis? and in that case, if you take 10gr glutamine daily, then you could still get away with it and stay in ketosis, since those 10gr will roughly convert to 5gr carbs.

 

[MS]

OMEGA, have you tried taking just straight LPC??? You may well find that it's not the glutamine that you're feeling, but better absorption of everything that goes down your pie-hole due to the LPC. Might be worth trying it as a side experiment?

I'll PM you soon.

Actually, not all people get kicked out of Ketosis w/ glutamine. However, for the unfortunate cases, the problem arises not w/ the carb content but w/ the 1) insulin spike it causes 2)liver glycogen it can refill (even a small amount) being enough to prevent glucagon from being released.

MS, that's the first time I've seen you say something out of a 1000% professional manner, lol. "pie-hole" makes me feel good that I am a jerk sometimes now lol j/k

Mr.X

Oh, I see. Thanks, Mr. X
