What is the main difference......

[OKIE]

between glutamine and glucosamine chondroitin. I take glutamine after my workout, but I also bought some pills for the morning that contain 1000mg of glucosamine sulphate, 800mg of chondroitin sulfate, & 800mg of MSM(methylsulfonylmethane). Thanks for the help!

Bump, because I know someone here knows te answer!!

Glutamine is the primary amino acid found in muscle...Glucosamine is used to alleviate sore joints...

When is the best time to take Glutamine?, and how many mg's for optimal gains?

 

[Weam]

The difference between glutamine and glucosamine chondroitin is the same as the difference between Vitamin A & Vitamin B complex and so on
Glutamine is metabolized via mitochondrial phosphate-dependent glutaminase
it's much like the relation between Glutmine & Glutathione

Grams not Milligrams.

Aim for 20+/day if training intensely. If consuming a good protein drink, it should already contain adequate amounts.

Glucosamine and chrondiotin are excellent for sore joints, because they help to rebuild the cartilage, if taken on a daily basis. I find the glutamine reduces the ache i feel the following days after a workout, i think its the most abundant amino in the body aswell, i could be wrong though.

Are you serious? 20 grams of glutamine/day! I've read 8-10 grams is plenty! Anyone else got something on this?

 

[Raffaz]

Just depends on body weight, Iron games a big bloke. Not sure of an exact amount per Lb of bodyweight, but im sure someone will know.

Bump for anyone knows how much glutamine to take if you are training hard.

 

[The Iron Game]

20 grams/day, it is an amino acid, protein, helps with stress and will help your body against infections and illness. As I said it is in most quality product protein shakes so you will get more than enough 20+ grams/day if you are living up to adequate protein consumption.

PS I read that 200mgs of Vitamin C a day was enough, so now I only ever buy a multi vit mineral with no more than 200mgs of vit c. Yeah Right

I know what you mean, but I'm not talking about reading it in Men's Health. I read it before on this board, so I was just curious if it was based on bodyweight or what. I believe my post-workout shake from Protein Factory contains 8g of glutamine peptides, so I wasn't sure if I needed to add more or not.

glucosamine sulphate is used to help repair injured cartalige in your joints....therefore it will aid in sore joints and so-on

 

[cyberflash]

Glucosamine is a sugar amino .... glucose + glutamine .... this amino attaches itself to the joints ....
chrondiotin and MSN are 2 other joint supps ...

the most powerful supp for the joints ... and I mean awesome !!! I take it 3x a day
