Glutamine...when to take

[edgarr]

I know that there has been debate on whether gultamine is usless or not but that is not my question. I have heard that glutamine should not be taken after your workout along with a PWO shake/meal but then some say yes take it. Any opionins?

What research shows is that it spikes growth hormones levels and growth hormone competes with insulin. Many people like to spike insulin to get nutriants and food in post workout and use glutamine before bed to help spike growth hormones.

i think glutamine is the bomb...i think it helps my recovery

[Squatman51]

i would take it before your workout and before bed

I take it pre-cardio (AM empty stomach), pre-workout, and before bed. I believe glutamine is an excellent supplement that will aid in recovery.

i think it depends if you combine cardio days with weight lifting days if you do take it pre cardio and pre workout. but don't do cardio and training right after another.
