Glutamine and bcaa's

[kgj1119]

When is it best to take both? I mix mine with my both my pre and post workout shake? Is that optimal or should I spread it out

Thats pretty good. if you can afford to use more throughout the day that would be ideal though

I include both in my postworkout shakes -10mg glutamine, 10mg bcaa's. This is part of my slin protocol.

IMO, if you had to pick a specific time use them, it would be pre, intra and post. BCAAs are going to spike proteins synthesis quickly and facilitate recovery, as will glutamine. I also include a complete protein as well i those drinks (pepto-pro).

You can also have BCAAs between meals, which I found to be helpful when dieting to preserve muscle and prevent any kinds of cravings.

I keep a BCAA drink on my nightstand and drink it first thing in the morning. I figure why not get protein synthesis kicked off ASAP and stop any catabolism.
