and if you read about glutamine products it says it might or could do this or that not it does do this or that. not saying it doesnt work but thats what it says.

most good protien supps ussually have an ample supply of glute in them or glute peptides which if im not misstaken are even better for u than pure l-glute....ur money would be better spent on a solid protien supp instead like iso pure or or some other high quality protien.....imo

My experience with glutamine is that it helps with muscle recovery if you have a big leg day or chest day the day before, but as for building muscle, it doesn't do anything.

I only take it when muscles are sore from a big workout.

I'm a big believer in glutamine. I use upwards of 30 grams a day. I feel like it helps my recovery time and helps to spare muscle during workouts. I use the MetRx GlutNOS and have no complaints.

From what I've learned, glutamine is burned up the most out of all the amino's when you're body needs energy. Therefore - it is essential for me since I play college football.. if I didn't take it, I would be burning muscle and potential muscle at a pretty high rate.

I know it is essential for me since I have an extreme rate of activity, but I"m not positive if you're just lifting.. We have to lift, run and practice.. all of which pretty damn intense.

I take in 20g's a day. I throw in 10g w each protein shake, mid morning and mid afternoon (after lift/run/practice).

My opinion..
