Glutamine Basics

[clockworks]

Glutamine is an amino acid, a building block of protien. All of the advice I've heard suggests against taking aminos (Creatine, Glutamine) with a protein meal/shake as they compete for absorption.

MM could you give us some examples of "cheap" protien?

yeah, i'd like to know what a cheap protein is also. i right now, i drink about 5 protein shakes a day which consist of EAS simply whey protein.

thanks,

I've read the amount of glutamine your body gets when taken orally is very low. A lot of the claims supplement companies make are based on research testing glutamine delivered via IV.
