Whey Protein Shake + Glutamine Pills

[Lee]

A bought some glutamine and some more whey cuz i was runnin low. The lady at GNC told me to take a couple pills when i wake up with breakfast, a couple with my protein shake at lunch, and a couple with my protein shake after my workout. Is this info correct or was she just trying to sell me a product?

First off, the pills suck. Get the powder, it is much cheaper.

Secondly, recent evidence suggests glutamine is digested by the stomach before it hits your muscles.

Glutamine (if you believe it works) is best when you wake up, after workout, and before bed. All these times are when cortisol is high and glutamine is supposed to spare muscle tissue and help recovery etc.

Most people around here take between 10-20 grams daily. Most pills are between 500mg-1gram so you could easily go through your bottle in like a week.
