Glutamine will not work good at all if you take it at the same time when you are going through your Creatine cycle. I will explain why.
Creatine and Glutamine depend on many of the same substrate carriers and cotransporters. When the two are competing with one another for the same carriers, one wins and one loses. Let's say for example you have a molecule of sodium (sodium is a carrier for both glutamine and creatine) available to carry a molecule of creatine or glutamine into the muscle cell. Well it's only going to attach to one of them. It's not going to carry both. Therefore one is out of luck and thus will perform some other possibly mundane task or just get excreted as waste.
what the fuck is up with that shit? i read everywhere else that ucan take both at the same time no problem. but this seems very scientifically based, so whats the deal? take C & G at the same time or not?
