Not so fast all you glutamine haters out there the supplement has way more promises than you give it.

Now when you go around to most sites selling supplements most give you an impression that if you take this or many other supplements, your just going to blow up muscle wise. We all know thats just not the case, and we all know that is the very reason that supplements like glutamine get most of these negative reviews. Its the false claims and out right “Puffery” that plagues the supplement industry.

What does this Supplement do?

Glutamine as a supplement is very useful with intestinal problems( stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, and even Crohn's disease), and stressful medical conditions like bone marrow transplant or bowel surgery. Also helps alleviate some the side effects of cancer chemotherapy including diarrhea, pain and swelling inside the mouth, nerve pain, and muscle and joint pains caused by certain kinds of cancer drugs.

The problem with Glutamine comes from the misinformation and theorizing that since it does help with these stressful circumstances it must also help with the stress of working out. To some degree it does if taken after workout and before bedtime. It is also important for providing "fuel" (nitrogen and carbon) to many different cells in the body. Glutamine is needed to make other chemicals in the body such as other amino acids and glucose (sugar). We just DON"T have enough information to say that supplementing with glutamine is a waste. Remember people said you don't need to supplement with creatine either or that you don't need more protein than a average Joe to grow your muscles. The point is that all things change and science is always changing.

What benefits does this specific supplement provide? Muscle recovery, healthy gut, nerve pain reduction, joint pain alleviation, and a counter balance to physical distress.

What are the best dosages? 5g-10g for those 220Lbs and under, 10g-15g for those over 220Lbs. Take one serving with creatine after training and one more dose ZMA and EFA's 30-40 minutes before bedtime.

In Conclusion:

Over the past 15+ years of doing this shit we have gone through every kind of stuff possible from good to bad, but one thing has always stayed - nature doesn't make anything that doesn't have a purpose. We are product of that nature and will always be evolving. Maybe some don't feel anything from certain supplements while other swear by them. This is the very reason you never say a ingredient of nature is useless, it part of you and here for a reason. Look at the research and make you own decision.
