is it ok to add glutamine powder to your protein powder shake?

[BigIsBest]

i currently have protein powder mixed into milk before and after my workouts.. glutamine needs to be taken before and after workouts aswell.. so i was wondering if it would be ok to add glutamine to the shake that i have with the protein? or does glutamine work better when having it on its own?

It would be best if you take it separately from your protein because AA's do compete for absorption. It's already in the protein but more will get absorbed if taken separately.
