Glutamine

[Crash]

I was wondering how many people take glutamine. If you do take it do you take the capsules or do you take the powder form? Also how much do you normally take on training days? I was thinking about trying it but I wanted to get the boards input first. Also could you please recommend a cheap place to get it!
Thanks for your info

I take it, usaully put a couple of grams in with my protein shakes, I buy AST Glutamine powder, seems to be cheapest.

Itake 10g right after my workout, about 10min before my dextrose/wheyprotein/creatine shake (glutamine does not have to compete with other amino acids and gets right in the muscles that way)

I usually get Pro Performance's brand. Last time I bought it, it was 35 dollars(US) for 90 5g servings. I take 5g right after training and another 5g with my first solid post-workout meal, uaually 2 hours after my workout.

I like to use glutamine-peptides as they are more absorbable than l-glutamine and can be mixed in with protein powders.I use between 15 and 30 grams per day.

Glutamine strengthens the immune systems and reduces the risk of getting sick due to overtraining (which weakens the immune system). it's also anti catabolic and keeps the muscles hydrated well, together with creatine, which is anabolic.

I agree with BenchPress. It strengthens the immune system(which in my opinion is incredibly important), helps with glycogen storage, increases GH, is anti-catabolic, and cell volumizing. You are selling yourself short without it.
