is it nessesery to take bcaa's and glutamine together or is one of them enough

[YM123]

ask layne about glutamine for more detail on the subject but there are no studies to show it actually works. bcaa's are a must

Glutamine itself occurs naturally inside of the body. Over 60% of all skeletal muscle is composed of glutamine. It is important in the synthesizing of muscle tissue, therefore "experts" (let me quote that) speculate it increases sythesis of protein in the body and decreases fatigue. As stated above, there are NO conclusive tests that make this any more true than what I've typed out here.

Personally, I take both BCAA's and L-Glutamine on a daily basis, especially pre and post workout. Might be my mind playing tricks on me but I do feel glutamine is an important aspect if you are an intense lifter. BCAA's do work, and they work well, take those, no questions asked.

YM123 Yes there are studies that shows that Glutamine works but there are also ones that show it doesnt. Ithink its a matter of preference.

In all reality you are getting enough in your protein shakes, but to supplement with both you can do them seperate or together. For pre and post workout I take mne together in my protein shake.
