Bump?

There's probably a science to this, but for me, I take 5 grams of creatine every morning, and right before I go to the gym, I take a scoop, which is about 2 or 3 grams of glutamine. In my shaker cup I take with me to the gym (along with a banana or two NOT in the shaker cup) at a minimum, another scoop of creatine, about 50mg of resveratrol (I just eyeball it nowadays) and not much protein powder anymore, as I eat so many slow burning eggs a couple of hours before hitting the gym.

I do 1.5 grams before bed.

Can I take before bed with my zma?

One study found that when athletes suffered from mild dehydration, supplemental glutamine increased exercise performance and enhanced fluid and electrolyte uptake when combined with a glucose and electrolyte beverage. Supplementation has also been shown to raise levels of growth hormone .
