[B bOy CrAyOn]

i had heard before that you shouldnt take glutamine after your work out with the rest of your post workout supplements because it keeps your body from absorbing all those or somthing.. idunno if it was a bunch of shit or not.. so is this somthing i should take pre-work out or before bed or when ?

CEE

Yeah, its one these things that apparantly is good for you if you're over-training...but like the other guys I didn't feel much, although my acne went away for a few days...

Anyway, according to most of the literature out there, 5-10 grams after your workout and 5-10 grams before bed. But again, if you're not feeling run down, it won't do much for you at all.

Actually, glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the muscles, which means that it gets depleted after intense exercise. Therefore, it makes sense to replenish those Glutamine stores, which will lead to faster recovery. That's why I use the stuff. I do about 5 grams in the morning, 5 before my workout, 5-10 after my workout, and about 5 before bed on an empty stomach. Actually, if you throw some arginine alongside the glutamine at bedtime, it can actually help to raise GH levels, which will also help with recovery. Also, it's a good immune-system booster, which I can say first-hand as I rarely get sick anymore *knock on wood*.
If you're on a budget, best stuff I've found is the Body Fortress glutamine that you can get at Wal-mart for around $12 for around 90 servings. Compare that to a lot of other products that run around $70. Sheesh! Glutamine's glutamine, and Body Fortress has worked just fine for me!

If you can afford it take it before u work out, after, and before bed

If you cant, u need to take it alteast before u go to bed

That works too. Plus, if you have at least 40 grams of whey in your post workout shake, there's probably already about 4-8 grams of glutamine already in there. If you look on the back of the whey protein canister or whatever you use right after your workout, chances are that it labels the BCAAs on the back, so you can check the glutamine content that way. But, Nigbo's right: Always take it before bed.
