How many people use Glutamine?

Ive read a couple places that regular free-form l-glutamine once process leaves only about 15-20% is available for actually muscle recover. However, if you get a PH balanced from or a peptide allows all the glutamine to be used and absorbed.

Just really curious on the kknowledgeble peoples opinion on this supplememt.

Final queston what are people opinons on blended protein powders? For instance my protein has 7 sources and breaks down up to 8. I add about 20 more grams of iso post workout but i can tells difference between a straihj protein over a blendors

Glutamine seems like a waste to me, benefits are too unnoticeable for me compared to the work it takes to scoop it into the blender..

In Colgan's book he says that glutamine contributes to ammonia buildup. i haven't looked into the biochemistry of this but he generally knows his stuff.

i used to use it in high doses. these days i far prefer BCAAs or EAAs. never noticed anything from glutamine

Used in the passed but dropped it since I didn't see any difference.. i'll use aminos around workout and throughout the day

Never noticed a difference while using it... even up to 15 grams post workout.

Just noticed your second question.

If you want a protein that allows you to really feel a difference, then use PeptoPro. Use it intra/post workout. It reduces the damage done during the workout and speeds healing afterward. In 28 years of training, I've tried a lot of powders and potions. PeptoPro is the one protein supplement that I would keep if I could only choose one.

And no, I don't sell this product or work for anyone who does. Just an enthusiastic user based on (finally) some noticeable results.

Peptopro is amazing... it's a shame shipping prices are ridiculous for us in Can :(

Thanks for the responses guys. There is a PH Balanced version we sell at the store i manage and it defintaley helps the DOMS on legs, especially since i took over a year off of any leg work.

Glutamine is a waste of money unless you're using it in an IV.

Can you please elaborate a little, so i can understand why?

Most of the research showing positive effects are when glutamine is taken IV and not orally.
