L-Glutamine

[jwh7699]

I thought I would share this. I take L-Glutamine on a regular basis. I never new exactly when the best time to take it was until I read a recent article. Several articles I read stated the same thing. Taking as little as 2 grams of L-Glutamine before bed helps raise Human Growth hormone levels while you sleep which is highly beneficial for muscle growth and repair.

Best of Luck!!!

Yeah glutamine is a great amino acid and can never hurt to take it, i take around 20-40g per day right now to repair. At some point it got the same voluminizing effect has creatine.

as far as a secretague, GABA and arginine have more of an effect. Glutamine is a mild, if that, secretague.

Gaba screws me up real good, i got the powder which is god awful to start with and it numbs you. I did not like the feeling at all. The pills did nothing for me. Arginine i will look into this thanks Times

as a secretague, the dose of arginine is 5 - 7 grams right before bed. the cheap bulk arginine (L-Arginine) has a taste of something between an old fish and dirty sox. both my son and I agree it is one of the more distasteful supplements out there.

Too bad about the GABA. the stuff i got from Nutrabio wasn't bad. it will give you a niacin like buzz that lasts for a few minutes.

there are very few HGH secretagues out there. L-Arginine is the "best" as it is used in the medical community to test the pituatary for GH release.

I think the order is like this

L-Argine
GABA
L-Glutamine

I've taken L-Arginine before as a pre-workout drink. Didn't like the flushing and itching that came with it. Best of Luck!!

with the arginine before bed, if you are going to shoot for the recommended 5 - 7 grams, that's alot of pills to be swallowing and probably expensive too, am i right?

secretagues work best right before bed, preferably on an empty stomach. I really have a hard time with that one, an "empty" stomach right before bed? I eat like every two hours, how am I supposed to do that?

answer: I couldn't, so I stopped worrying about secretagues.

I don't eat every 2 hours i have read a lot of research on this and also decided to quit eating like that. I eat when i am hungry and i stop eating around 7pm at night, i don't have the whey protein shake before bed either, i will have 5g of glutamine because i read a lot of good about it, same has GABA before bed. Not sure how much arginine i will be taking probably what is recommended on the label.

I don't worry at all has long has the weight keeps going down and i am stripping the fat it does not mater how i do it, low carbing, low fat, intermittent fasting, eating 5-6 times a day.

Your over dosing 15mg is plenty

Yeah but i am using it to repair with prolotherapy this is why i use a high dosage, after all is repaired i will drop back down a bit

[jwh7699]

Would it be more beneficial to take BCAA supplement with all the amino acids before bed instead of just Glutamine? Thanks!!

Glutamine is useless and not worth the money! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17111006

Remember, that with secretagues, the older you get, the less they work, until sometime in your 40's it becomes such a low release it's not worth it.
