the problem with glutamin is that when you start taking it and use it for a while the effect stops witch forces the user too take higher and higher doses for the stuff to have effect on the body, and in the end ending up not only stopping the effect but also ****s up the reseptors witch makes sure the body uses it!

Glutimine is the most abundent amino acid in the body, about 60% of your muscle are made up of Glutimine. The reason people say its **** and doesn't work is that it doesn't buld muscle at all. Infact it does the almost opposite, it keeps your body from using its muscles as fuel. It's a non-essential amino acid, meaning that your body can produce it on its own. It's main purpose is to make sure you don't lose muscle while sleeping/dieting etc. Do your research, what I've found is that 5-10g/day is best. Take 5g before bedtime and 5 after your work outs. On non-workout days take it before bedtime since your be fasting for around 8 hrs(depending how much sleep you get) during the day the best time is after workouts so your muscle dont breakdown anymore. Any decent protein will have plenty of it in the profile. ON's 100% whey protein is my choice. If you must go Glutimine get the L-Glutimine since it's the puriest form of it. Remember half the battle of building muscle is to maintain it, otherwise your growth is a waste. Good luck and may the protein god be with you.

[QUOTE=CWUTrainer;222670]Why oh why do people go back and forth with studies.... Here is the deal people. Being a person in the nutrition research field, the lead of three research teams, with about 35 research studies on Sports Nutrition…. Ill let you all in on a little secret…Studies are a self-selecting success. Imagine this, you have a hypothesis, in this case, a hypothesis on the effects of glutamine on humans. You do the study and get the results. If the results are what you wanted and expected, you publish them. If they are not, you toss them out, alter the method and subject, and retest, reanalyze and bingo, you have your successful results. So I think it is great that you all are publishing studies, but here is the truth. THE AREA OF SPORTS NUTRITION IS PRETTY MUCH SUMMED UP, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF FOOD SUPPLEMENTATION….So when some jack-ass is like hey….glutamine is worthless…look at this study I found. I think…wow, you found a study. I can create a study that “shows” (its always shows saying that there may be a correlation, not a proven fact) women are more likely impregnated when eating jello. How so? Well I would create a study; gather a sample of women who hope to get pregnant. Feed half of them jello, and keep repeating this study until I get a substantial number of women on the jello diet pregnant compared to the jello-less….
Guys…why question the fact that glutamine is worthless. Think about this. Glutamine is the number one amino; therefore, of course glutamine supplementation would have a positive impact on lean mass gains. Stop questioning obvious facts. You want to question ****…question how much, what type of delivery system and when is the best to take supplements….
And I’m done…[/QUOTE
