glutamine dosing

[fitguy]

10mg or 5mg daily and should i take it on non-workout days as well?thanks

[brutesinme]

mg? I think you mean grams. How are you using it, post-workout or pre morning cardio?

[peachfuzz]

15-20 grams in 5 gram intervals.

morning
preworkout
post workout
before bed

(two of those may be the same time. but 3-4 times a day.

[fitguy]

yeah sorry i meant grams,i want to use it just postworkout

[peachfuzz]

then why did you ask about dosing?

[fitguy]

my question is 5 grams postworkout or 10 grams?

[brutesinme]

I found taking it before bed brought on bouts of insomnia. The only way I've ever found this stuff to be useful is combined with BCAAs before morning cardio.

15-20 grams in 5 gram intervals.

morning
preworkout
post workout
before bed

If you are taking Whey Protein then you should not take it after you workout. It will interfer with the protein and not allow your muscles to build....

dude that's a very bold statement to claim, i want to know where u red that ironic statement hopefylly not on protein label cause if you read it correctly u will find that protein powder consist of glutamine.

back to the question 5g to 10g should b enough for the body in one day.
best way to take it is to split the serving.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

10-15 grams post workout

[fitguy]

a few grams of glutamine will NOT ALLOW ME TO BUILD MUSCLE.....!!! WTF...

control - alt -delete


take your mulligan my friend and try again


although I have read that taking additional glutamine with your shake can hinder its absorption...something about the glutamine competing, but I don't know how true that is... or if its effects are really that important

[jimmyinkedup]

There isnt much benefit to taking it pwo with whey as whey contains good amounts of glutamine and other aminos ...also its been shown that for any effects that help prevent muscle wasting it needs to be taken in doses around 25-30 grams/day when ingested orally - and this is onlybeen shown to be true in a nutrient deficient state... btw a good bodybuilding diet will provide most people with in excess of 35-40grams of glutamine in whole food sources alone...so imo ...it is a waste....
An added note - i could see a potential place for it when cutting hard...depending on how you adjust your macros to do so...JMO

I think what he was trying to say was not mix the gultamine with the whey...there was some talk about the gultamine interfering with natty gultamine in whey.....although I think it was mostly a lame article in some magazine
