^^^Yeah some say 10 to 15 and some say up to 30, lol. Basically as much as you can afford. If it has any benefit I believe it probably lies in digestive health and immune health. Both very important things for bodybuilding. As for as directly affecting muscle growth the jury is out and probably will be for some time both in terms of glutamine and other single aminos. The biggest thing to consider is not whether they have any benefit at all but if that benefit is really any different than a high protein diet and in some cases carbohydrate supplementation, etc.

There are so many checks and balances in the body espeically when it comes to the free amino pool that I think, in general, the addtion of extra amounts of one amino has very little affect in the face of high protein and adequate caloric intake. Certain aminos are important but they tend to be found in abundance in the protein foods we eat or are manufactured in the body anyway. Glutamine is considered conditionally essential since it may be that in times of growth/stress the body is not able to manufacture enough but there is nothing definitive about it's effects. It is one of the most important aminos in the body for all sorts of reasons, though, that much is for sure.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
