Dr Brown says “…….now that the glutamine has been eradicated from her system.” if glutamine naturally occures in the body how exactly did you eraticate it. I never thought that glutamine could build up in your body as it is constantly being used up – is this correct? Would be interested to know if anyone has the answer.

I have been bodybuilding & training for many years. I take glutamine during my pre contest training and I have never had any problem with water retention or any other side effects of this products.

I am a chiropractic physician. I do not recomend glutamine for distance runners.

My daughter took it (10-20 grams/day) at the advise of her cross country coach. We knew nothing of this until she started having slow times in the 2 mile. Glutamine increases cell volume thus increases water wieght. Once I took her off of the glutamine she lost 4 pounds in 2 days and looked much more cut in her legs. She had been complainig of tightness in her calves and feeling heavy when she ran. I was thinking she had a poserior compartment syndrome. Now we know it was all glutamine causing the problem.

She has a race this weekend and we are expecting a great improvement in her times now that the glutamine has been eradicated from her system.

Probably a little late posting this sajjad Gazali but you can supplement with glutamine anytime it is a naturally occuring BCAA and can readily be found in vegetables like cabbage. I read alot of people are stacking glutamine with creatine …. this is a no no due to the fact creatine and glutamine are delivered to the muscles by the same means … sodium and since you only have a certain amount of sodium to deliver them ( and no ingesting more sodium will not allow you to fully obsorb both ) it is best to stagger them approximately an hour apart to fully reap their benefits.

Nothing’s wrong with taking 15-20 grams of Glutamine (L-Glutamine) daily. I already have 5 grams of it per scoop since it’s made with my Whey Protein. I’ve recently started to take additionally 5 grams of Glutamine before bedtime.

Cheers.

I have up till now only been using the glutamine provided in protien powders only, but have found two full bottles in my cupboard.From what I hear it can only do good so I will try it in the morning ,afternoon,after gym and lastly before bed.If you dont hear from me again it has probably killed me,but I doubt it Ha ha ha.I will give it a full hearted try as fatigue is a big problem in my life as a result of training.I hope it works !!!!!!!!

I started back in the gym after shoulder surgery and not exercising for 2+ years. I struggled with 130 lbs on the bench press. I started using a liquid Creatine/Glutamine supplement about 2 times a week before my workouts. I exercised 3 times a week and within 2 1/2 months, I gained 10 lbs and my bench jumped to 310!!!! I was working out longer, harder, and stepping out of the gym nice and pumped. There didn’t seem to be any side effects and I loved the new body! When you’re over 40 and strong, it really was a personal boost in confidence. I tried a couple other supplements, but they didn’t produce results and also jacked-up my heart rate quite a bit.
I love my liquid blend in a small bottle w/ an eye-dropper dispenser and have NO plans to use anything else. See you in the gym!

I just started taking the Glutamine powder, and in the middle of a really hardcore week at the gym and I couldn’t have started at a better time! The day I got it I was fatigued and sore which I haven’t felt for quite a while…well I gotta say the difference was almost instant…I mean I was really fatigued! Took it in the car soon after I bought it with some muscle milk…a few hours later….I felt normal again!!! The soreness wasn’t 100% gone…it was more like 90% gone which is still a-friggin-mazing…But the fatigue subsided…I fully recomend it if u go hard at the gym…was back in the gym the next day ready to go again with GUSTO! NOW, the directions say to take a teaspoon 4500mg (4.5grams) daily…I been taking one in the morning after my A.M. Perfect Pushups and Pullups with my weight gainer protien shake and another after my regular workouts after work totaling to 9 grams a day…I HAVE had an upset stomach like this so I am going to try half a tsp. twice daily instead to see if it helps…gotta be careful cuz Glutamine is in foods AND protien powders…so testing with precision is called for as with anything else having to do with ur body.
