Glutamine And Creatine Together At Once?

[BritishColumbian]

Is it ok to Mix Creatrine and Glutamine in the same drink? I have been hearing mixed reviews that in may be counter productive? anyone? anyone? Farris?

[BritishColumbian]

bump?

[jimmyinkedup]

i just think glutamine is a total waste no matter when u take it JMO.....

[IM708]

Take both together if you want. But as jimmy said it's a complete waste of cash.

[BritishColumbian]

[eatrainrest]

glutamine accounts for 60% of muscle tissue....

^^^thats what I heard. and during times of stress glutamine reserves are depleted and need to be replenished through supplementation. Glutamine also plays a part in maintaining proper blood glucose levels and the right pH range.

give me some facts to back up your statments please

There are NO facts that exist that glutamine supplementation is beneficial. Glutamine is the most abundant AA in the body BUT it is also the most abundant in nature. When you are on a 250g protein diet day in and day out you are easily getting 20g or more in a day. If your cutting then maybe get some but if your diet is good then you still won't need it.

And because I think your going to go do it anyways go blow your cash on a tub of it.

[jimmyinkedup]

^^^ i agree 100%....

glutamine accounts for 60% of all skeletal muscle tissue so waste?? ABSOLUTELY NOT. you shoudl rephrase your statement as i THINK you meant to say supplementing glutamine WHILE GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN/glutamine THROUGH PROPER DIET is a waste... in that case yea it may be a waste as its NOT needed

Alrighty then

So in what way do I need to rephrase what I said? In a nutshell I stated that supplementation is useless with a proper high protein diet. I think you are targeting the wrong person here.

I'm nearly 100% confident he meant glutamine supplementation is a waste, unneccesary, etc. Also you are pulling apart what he said beyond what it required, any person with half a brain would know he is referring to supplementation of glutamine and not all glutamine that exists.

its alright mr. sensitive i was just making sure what you posted didnt put forth the wrong impression to others. i do believe i have half a brain, since i proposed what i believed you were thinking. obiously next time have a bolder more informed statement than "point being...?" to the comment i made about it accounting to 60% all skeletal muscle tissue (which is essential), as long as its available through proper diet than i believe it is a waste, as i stated already.

"Athletes who train excessively may deplete their glutamine stores. This is because they are overusing their skeletal muscles, where much of the glutamine in the body is stored. Athletes who overstress their muscles (without adequate time for recovery between workouts) may have lowered immunity and may be at increased risk for infection or slow recovery from injuries. This is also true for people who participate in prolonged exercise, such as ultra-marathon runners. For this select group of athletes, glutamine supplementation may be useful. This is not true, however, for most exercisers who tend to work out at a much more moderate intensity."

Take what you will from that. I know most people on this site aren't ultra-marathon runners. Whether you think you work as hard as one will determine whether or not you should supplement with glutamine, I guess.

Totally irrelevant to virtually everyone who roams this website.

[jimmyinkedup]

For christs sake - if people want to waste their money and believe something will make a difference that wont - go right ahead. The damn supp companies hype and BS marketing citing and quoting portions of irrelevant and meaningless studies have 70 % of the bodybuilding and workout community brainwashed into believing BS like glutamine increases GH to levels that make a diff and will increase LBM and help burn fat and this and that blah blah blah.... it all BS bros. Save your money - spend it on quality clean food and stop buying into ads in magazines and articles in magazines that are designed to do one thing = sell supplements.

[mho]

Actually, it is relevant to virtually everyone who roams this website. Most of us aren't ultra-marathon runners, therefore if I'm reading the information correctly we don't need to supplement with glutamine. How is that irrelevant? You know we're in the supplement forum right?

[RATTLEHEAD]

lol. arguments over glutamine crack me up. most people get enough of it anyways, so unless you pull a kate moss and starve yourself to death you shouldn't be too worried. that article about running marathons makes perfect sense though. but if your running marathons, just alter your diet to preserve muscle mass. In conclusion, just eat more (keep the diet clean though, dont waste your calories).

[eatrainrest]

steroids cure all who needs diet

A supplement forum for steroid users/bodybuilders, not ultra marathon runners. So again completely irrelevant. In the bold you are making an inference based on the interpretation of the poor wording used in the paragraph you stated in post #18.

I thought the wording was clear and easily understandable. I was trying to make a point that glutamine supplementation was unnecessary because we are not marathon runners who go through hours upon hours of endurance excercise without eating. After rereading my last post, it seems a bit hostile and I apologize if it came across the wrong way.
