L-Glutamine question.
Should i be taking this before or after a workout??
It says on the bottle to take it before, but i thought you use up the glutamine during the workout and you need to replenish it after. Also should i be taking this on days when i dont lift???? |
I do both before and after, and sometimes during... and I also take it on non-workout days in the morning... I don't think it makes much of a difference.. at least I don't feel a difference.

Try 10 grams postworkout, then another 10 grams before bed. You'll need a lot of glutamine to reap any significant benefit.

I've heard of strengh coaches recommending up to 80 grams a day. I'm not suggesting this, but it illustrates the thinking in regards to glutamine. |
Personally I do 10 grams PWO and 10 grams around dinner time (I workout in the early morning).

The best source I found is from Primaforce. For 1 Kilo, it's $32.00...And IMO the best quality for the pricing.

But you can take more than the SUGGESTED dose. And if you're real poor and can only afford to take it once a day, then I still say post-workout is the one to choose. For twice a day after training and before bed-time, like you said. But you can take more. A lot of people add some extra to every protein shake. In any case 10 grams at a time is almost twice the suggested dose anyway, so why are we harping on suggestions? I get it cheaper than Primaforce. Why do you think Primaforce is the best source for the money, 311? |
I wasn't talking to you :D I just put I told you so because I originally said before bed, then when I looked up this brand, it had the suggestion in the directions.
Primaforce is one of my trusted companies. The only bad reviews were because of the smell. But, I say if it works, then they should clean the sand out of their clit and drink it. :p http://www.bulknutrition.com/product...oducts_id=1493 A lot of people across the board recommended me to this company. A lot of the makers of this company have ties with Scivation, which has IMO the very best quality products of anyone. http://www.primaforce.com/?pageID=12 If you found another brand cheaper, by all means, don't hide it from us! I'd like to check it out if it saves me a dollar or two. |
BTW, I've tried their Substance WPI, ThermoRage, Lean Green, and creaform and found them all to be very good. No miracles or nothing, just good quality at a poor man's pricing. I pretty sure their whey isolate is the cheapest at $22 for 34 servings. This company is one of the best sellers over at bulk nutrition for the simple products like what I previously said.
