Ok this is what I know: Glutamine helps with cell Volumization and it is Anti-Catabolic, and the bottle says take 1 rounded teaspoon/day, but I have read you should take up to 5 rounded tablespoons/day. I guess My question is how much and how do you guys take it. Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dunno, it's the same thing.......
Maybe because it doesn't mix worth a sh*t?

Why not just use protein shakes a couple meals a day. IMO they are more than enough glutamine.

Unless it has 5g of glutamine per scoop I wouldn't think a protein shake would have enough in it.
I take 5g pre work out, 5 grams post work out, and 5 grams before bed.

Most whey protein supplements have 3-4g of glutamine in each scoop.....so for 3 meals a day having a 1-2 scoop shake in each one should provide you with plenty of glutamine. I don't see the point in wasting money on glutamine supplements when you can just use whey protein....

why would you take it PWO if your already properly practicing your PWO nutrition? That is just a waste of your glut. The peptides in the whey will be more than sufficient in this scenario, and it would serve you better to save this for pre-am cardio, to aid in preventing a catabolic phase, instead of doing nothing in a phase where your body is already in an anabolic state!
Just my opinion, but it is logical!

Somebody feel free to interject their opinion if anything i said was falsified, but i believe that is based on factual evidence. Oh diet guru, how do you take your glut?
Pre-cardio?
LMO and DCB, how do you use it?
Just want opinions from people who have used it both ways, and seen results. Science is one thing, but results in a lab, and results in your body after years of training sometimes contradict each other!

Whey contains glut peptides, not L-glut...

True, but honestly I think it does the job just fine. I've used glutamine for a long time, and I have also not used glutamine and continued with my 3 liquid meals a day, and i have gained both ways.

There are lots of studies on it, yes. I'd encourage a search and to spend some time researching. I'm not going to spend my time doing it because in my field we consider this common knowledge.
A.M. 5 grams, P.M. 5 grams. (Non-training days)
A.M. 5 grams, PWO whey isolate w/glutamine peptides present already) (training days)

I spent some time trying to find non-biased research on glutamine to no avail (about 2 hours of searches) but I will try again today. I'll let you know what comes up. Most of what I've seen comes from Weider Publications.

Glutamine can be converted to glutamic acid, which is both a precursor to the important inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) and an excitatory neurotransmitter in its own right. Athletes on high-protein diets will appreciate the fact that glutamine transports ammonia, the toxic metabolic by-product of protein breakdown, to the liver, where it is converted into less toxic urea and then excreted by the kidneys. Finally, glutamine can convert into alanine, an amino acid that the liver converts into glucose, supplying additional fuel to muscles during a prolonged workout.
