pure l-glutamine is a waste of time
most of it will be stolen by intestinal cells and used for fuel (glutamine is their main food source)

you need either an estered form (such as n-acetyl-l-glutamine) or peptide form - which i dont recommend! (most companies just use gluten, sometimes pre hydrolysed and sometimes not - and label it as "glutamine peptide" - misleading to say the least)

because pure l-glutamine is used by intestinal cells, it can be used sometimes to alleviate IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), so this it can be used for

Sounds like he know's what he's talking about. He always puts out great info. Me I'm a product of habbit and still take it.
I found some micronized fermented insinized L-glutamine by sytrax, that I'm probably gonna use for now goes down great. I think it's working I take it with creatine and dextrose PWO. Don't mess up stomach up at all.

Excellent post Vadim and totally agree.

I have always found it pretty shocking that there is not one iota of data to suggest increase glutamine uptake in muscle cells via orally administrated glutamine. All the major studies where glutamine were studied [burns patients for example] were via IV Sterile glutamine

Saying that - Glutamine works wonders for this with intestinal issues and even crohns to a degree.

Another good use for Glutamine is indirect glycogen replenishment Post Work.

What do u think about making it into a suspension and injecting it?? lol

so which one u reccomend?/ n-acetyl-l-glutamine? how much ??

I was taking 40 g glut a day

 

[vadim_b1]

then you see how much of it was wasted

id say you will see the same results out of 6-10 g/day of NAG, maybe less.
I use about 10 g daily and really like it.

an IV infusion of glutamine would be awesome though

True, pure, l-glutamine will disolve instantly as soon as it hits the water. If it doesn't, it's cut down with a lot of fillers.
