Thoughts on Glutamine PEPTIDES???

[MrFreshNKleen]

Waddup,

I konw that universally everyone considers glutamine as a waste of time,money, and effort.......but what about glutamine peptides such as Gplenish and a few other products on the market advertised as pure glutamine peptides.

Do these products still convert into glucose after injestion and digestion or do the peptides somehow increase absortion.

Does muscle volumization occur along with quicker recovery?

i think peptides do have a higher absorption rate, but it all comes down to price and if it's worth it to you. peptides are only a portion glutamine. let me rephrase that. 100gms of glutamine peptides won't equal 100gms of glutamine. i forget the exact amount but i think peptides yield about 50% glutamine. someone with a better figure should correct me on this.

bump this for OMEGA

No better than regular glutamine. Just expensive glucose.

thanks for the bump

what can I say

if you can get aside the marketing ploys and just have a leap of faith and try the peptides you wont be sorry I tell you

it takes about 1 week and three to 4 huge tables poons a day

will will be selling 3 pounds for 39 bucks

and even if 6 grams of it is glutamine whiel the other 10 is all other amino acids it very stable and hence taken up by target tissues

you would know within one
week


endurnace goes up, recovery gradually, and above all over all health


it will eb avaibale at AF under a new lable by months end

take care

glucose??? um, no... glucose is blood sugar, not an amino

[OMEGA]

you can get glutamine rich powders from many substances

soy
whey
n-acetly-l-glutamine (synthetic)
wheat
rice


etc........


the key is the hydolisis method, and the final procedures that assure the products effectivness

the expense of material, and the adequate processes to assure that it works are radically different form place to place and differ in complexity

You must be kiding. You obviously do not understanbd basic nutrition and amino acid metabolics. The end result of glutamine is the conversion to glucose. Whew.

my bad, i was under the impression that if one were to go on a low/no carb diet (high protein), that glucose levels would drop to almost nothing, and the body would go into a state of ketosis... oh wait, that is the case. please explain how this is possible if amino's are converted to glucose. I'd like a detailed explanation based on logic, thanks

No one mentioned a low carb/0 carb diet my friend. Glutamine is useless no matter the diet, training style or athlete, and until you can provide peer review abstracts preoving otherwise, youre arguement is comical. I can certainly provide many.

you can provide many since you have them sitting on your pc waiting to post them. it doesnt matter if someone else mentioned a low carb diet, I DID. you are the one claiming that glutamine is converted into glucose, and apparently my question is not covered in any of your text books, because now you are lost. i wanted to see if you could think your way through my question, and apparently you cant. MY argument is comical? i made no argument, i simply asked for you to use your vast knowledge on the subject to explain to me how - if aminos are converted into glucose, ketosis works. can you do this? or are you going to reply that my question is 'comical' again?

you are suggesting that i do not understand amino metabolics. i've given you a scenario that i would like explained... if you can explain, please do

Apparently you have failed to read any textbook. Me, lost? Ha. Your question is simple, and Im disappointed you could not work through it yourself. Read and learn gluconeogenesis.

you're too predictable, this is the answer i anticipated.

Good, then you should have already studied up on it yourself. You should learn at least the basics before you give advice to others.
