If you had to pick just ONE glutamine product, what would be the best one for the best results?
Please pick a product and include the brand. Give your reasons. The best answers will be displayed on the main Bodybuilding.com site for millions of people to see!
(Note: This is not a discussion about how or when to take glutamine, if glutamine works, or why some glutamines do not work. Just list your absolute favorite glutamine product and give your detailed reason.)

I like Prolabs Pure Glutamine Powder, its helped minimize muscle loss during my recent cutting phase. I used to use AST glutamine but Prolab is like $10 cheaper and works the same.

Because of the fact that I have only used one glutamine product, I would have to say AST's micronized glutamine.

Well, I used NHF (canadian brand) glutamine. and It worked well.
I tried Moonherb (another local brand) and it worked well.
Then I tried Interactive Glutamine Stack, it worked I guess but it tastes like poo.
The only difference between glutamines is if they're peptides or pure L-Glutamine.
Pure L-Glutamine has no taste and is easily mixed with water and ready to take.
Glutamine peptide, comes from hydrolyzed wheat and it does not mix with water well.
whatever you do, make sure you mix it with something else not water, to take the taste away.
plus, when you take glutamine, you'll notice a decrease in your night sleep. However, you wake up fresh and ready which is good.
In general, I believe Glutamine does help in recovery.

because i've only used 1 glutimine product, i'd have to go with twinlabs glutimine, although from what i hear prolabs is better, i will be using prolab next time.

03-06-2003, 08:47 AM
The best glutamine product has been around for a few years but only available in the past to professional athletes. A company called Advanced Generation Pharmaceuticals (website www.advancedg.com) makes a killer vanilla flavored glutamine product. All of AGP's products are pharmaceutical grade and lab tested, both in their own manufacturing facilities and tested by an independent lab and certification COMES WITH THE PRODUCT 'YALL!

It sounds like glutamine peptides in general don't have the flavor/taste that is desirable.
I have a product right now that has glutamine peptides. I have to wash it down with something like orange juice.
Next time I'll go for something without a bad flavor. Because overall, I won't take something consistently if the taste sucks!

the best is when you takes glutamine after training(in days when you aren't traning take that at the same time in the day ) and before sleep in 20g dose:-)

cjszip
04-30-2003, 09:37 AM
Yes, I am too good for nutritional facts, the RDA for zinc is 15 mg's, however with the way foods are today (i take it you already know) and the absourption rate of vitamins in your daily one a day, 15 mg's would be ridiculus for any athlete. The jug of glutamine says to take 5 grams, it looks like you're getting a whole lot more then you really are, but considering muscular size and weight of an individual can differ from person to person, it would be worthless to take 5 grams, since 5 grams would be so small in comparason to what your body is actually in need of. Glutamine stores are depleated specificially under stressful times (cutting) and supplementing with glutamine keeps these levels high, which avoids muscular break down caused by lack of stored L-glutamine, Asside from that, I think a deeper understanding of glutamine and how it works is necessary before you base your dosage and "advice" on the subject. Check out my message board in my sig for a solid message board without BS...

how many times will I need to correct you, I corrected you above with your statement of "if the jug says 5 grams i use 5 grams" or somthing of the sort. Now you're saying that it would be the same either way (as in bulking or cutting), wrong. Durring a bulking phase carbohydrates are above maintainance or at the very least, high enough to spare the breakdown of glutamine, while cutting your in a catabolic state all together and your carbohydrates are so low amino acids begin being oxidized, ontop of this, cutting is more stressful on the immune system, glutamine is a major player in the immune systems function and thus glutamine is less abundent while cutting, further more while performing cardio more freequently and keeping weight training manditory, glutamine can be depleated... The list goes on and on, the point is that while bulking calories are above maintainance and your in an all around anabolic state, and while bulking carbohydrates will spare glutamine and protein break down.... Read more before you post.

Is it any good? How does it compare to ProLab Glutamine?
(Regarding ProLab -- I just purchased some ProLab Creatine. This is my first Creatine, and I am studying up on its proper use!)

There is a NJ base company by the name of Pro Source. I think their Glutamine is truly a superb product. It is $30 for a 180 serving bottle, 5g per serving. The stuff is so fine it could be mistaken for cocaine. It is easily solubulized and has no taste. I seriously recommend this brand above all others!!!!!

Because I have been out of shape for at least 4 years, Syntrax Glu-FM was my first time trying L-Glutamine for recovery after cardio. I started out with 5g daily before Cardio (basketball). I only notice a slight change in my body temp. (meaning I felt a little warmer than normal) Two weeks in I upped my dosage to 10g during my basketball workout. I took 10g with 8 ounces of Welchs grape juice and drank it during my workout. Maaan! I was burning up. Veins popped out and I was warm with a slight headache. Not a migraine but a "I think I'm about to get a headache" type feeling.
I believe Glu-FM enabled me to extend my pickup game to 3 1/2 hours. I haven't played like that in 10 years or more. Next day, I had NO soreness. But my damn feet hurt though? :-)
One other major side affect though. I couldn't sleep that night for shiiit! I think I finally fell asleep at 2:00am. I took the GLU-FM around 5:00pm.
Glu-FM has very, very little taste.

AST GL3 micronized glutamine, mixes easily, no bad taste
RhinoChaser48
09-20-2003, 04:44 PM
AST GL3 makes my urine burn without fail. I tried it twice and both times the same thing happened. I would take it 20-30 minutes before bed and my pre-bed leak always burned. I never had that problem with any other product. That micronized stuff seems to run straight through me. Now I use prolab. The price is good, taste is fine, and seems to be effective for recovery purposes.

Actually thats not really true. The process of islolating an amino structure is very complicated and sometimes can be done many different ways. The end result may be the same product but may have different characteristics. The most common variable among different products is it's PH. Some may be more acidic than others and may react differently in the stomach and intestinal tract. I think thats why some glutamine products are marketed as digestive aids and some as recovery aids. If you find a cheap one that works for you, stick with it, because not all of them will live up to the claims.
"Creapure" is actually the name of the process that was developed to create effective creatine monohydrate. When creatine first became popular everyone had their own way of producing the stuff. The Chinese companies used methods that produced a product that was less effective than the german companies. It's the german method that's become the proven method today. Some companys still market their products with it's origin but "creapure" is the established name for this method.

PRD Glutacene Rasberry flavor is an awesome product. It is a glutamine product that also has amino acids in it to prevent your body from going catabolic during a workout. Check out gen-mag.com for information on it.

Glutamine has many benefits. If it can fit into your schedule and price, you might want to look into it. Here are a few links to look at:
http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/supplements-reviews/glutamine-side-effects-benefits.htm
http://www.wellfx.com/InfoBase/vitamin_glutamine_.htm
http://www.nutrition-health-online.com/dir/benefits_of_glutamine/index.shtml
Anyway, AST micronized is a decent product. I'll be trying out GPLENISH soon. Not sure if anyone has tried it. Fitness Labs also has a good product

Hey i was just wondering if it would be okay to take the TwinLab L-Glutamine Pills After my workout. I am 15 years and 1/2 years old and i also was wondering if im too young for it or if it would be beneficial for me. Like even just after running to keep my muscle.
BTW- i didn't buy em, my mom did for her to help her not eat as much sweets , to lose weight
the bottle of 50 pills costs $7.50
BustaReims

The pills contain around 1g for a full serving - the pills are essentially worthless. The recommened serving of Glutamine is 5g about 30mins before your workout and 5g before bed. I don't think someone your age should be taking it, though - since what it does is free bound skeletal muscle and aid in the increase of the body's testosterone level. At your age your body is still pumping with a good level of test, and not a wise idea to be altering the state at your age.
If you really want to grow, stick to the basics - consume1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight everyday.

Is that true that it ups ur testosterone level? I am taking EAS l glutamine and I'm 17 years old, 18 in a few months (October) and the bottle didnt say anything about testosterone... I mean all glutamine is is a type of amino acid.... and amino acids make up proteins... Although testosterone is a type of protein I really dont see any correlation between a certain amino acid and testosterone... Im no expert tho, so give me some help pls!

i used glutamine for up than 3 years, every day 10-20 gr, ast gl3, and now after i abolished it since 2003 i can say that nothing is changed in my body, so i was just losing my money because glutamine is simply uneffective and useless for anticatabolic purpose for athletes.... its usefulness is referred only to ill people ... training, the most intensive too, is not comparable to illness..
i just found that when i have a bacterical sore throat, using 20 gr of glutamine i can stop it in 1 day... no other results from it
so save your money guys :)

So if you supplement with ICE you don't need additional glutamine?

for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would buy glutamine. If you're eating 8-10 oz. of meat at 8 meals a day, you're getting PLENTY of amino acids, including glutamine. If you're already eating 300+ grams of amino acids a day, why would you supplement with a NONessential one. I can guarantee you one thing, it WILL NOT be absorbed by the muscle pool.
You guys are getting scammed.

According to studies taken by the t-mag staff, you can see how ineffective glutamine really is. I mean sure we'd love to think it works, and every tikme we drink this concoction or however you take it its aiding us in so many ways, and should be taken generously. Studies conclude that this only helps that much in paitents suffering great illnesses or disease. Only after your glutamine pools are wasted completely is the glycogen replenishment that much more effecitive. www.t-mag.com concluded that glutamine really doesn't do anything, and either way if you eat a good amount of protein your still getting your needed amounts of glutamine. I was a sucker and bought the produce, adn will finish it, but i am glad i was enlightened that it doesnt really help.
IF you search that site for glutamine you will get a number of responses you probably weren't aware of first. Just eat better lol

topical fat loss creams have never been tested in that kind of environment, but the science behind each of the ingredients is sound, especially the solvent which is the main part of the topical that allows it to work.

well I did keep caliper records and weight measurements before and after use and from the years previous to it's use and there is most certainly a difference. There is no scientific evidence to support the product as a whole and as that goes, you'll never see that. YOu will never see a peer reviewed article examining a multiple ingredient supplement, it just doesn't work that way (you have never tried to get an article submitted so please don't argue with me on this one lol). Occasionally you will see combinations of different ingredients as compared to a single to see if there is an additive effect but you'll never see a specific supplement tested. Typically you have singlular ingredients tested. From what I recall the singular ingredients in said topical formula are EGCG, yohimbine HCl, sesamin, all of which have been shown to be effective lipolytic aids. The solvent has also been shown to penetrate the dermis and reach the subcutaneous layer, meaning it will reach adipose tissue. You put it together it should work.

Higher Power Glutamine has greatly enhanced my recovery time. Just a few weeks ago I would be sore for 4-5 days after a leg workout and after taking the glutamine (10g) each day I have reduced my recovery time to about 2 days.
Moreps

I agree with str8flexed concerning the combination of ingredients enhancing effectiveness. ... HMB never did anything for me as a standup supplement, but when combined with creatine, arginine, and tyrosine, the effects were dramatic.
Regarding topical weight loss creams, I've never had a personal experience from them so in that respect I am not qualified pass judgement. I do remember however, a few competitors who have told me that they retained water on the area's they applied it to. I was backstage at a show not too recently getting ready to pump up and go out with my first class, when a guy started bitching and moaning about the increased layer of fat (water, most likely) on his lower abs after using a topical.

I've been happy with the stuff so far and to me it just seems like wholesale Glutamine -vs- EAS's crazy prices and fancy packages

I prefer SciFits Glutamine. For the money and quality you can't beat it. They use pharmacuetical grade glutamine from Italy. Most companies tend to use cheap chinese grade stuff that runs through you.

Bump for Prolab Glutamine. Cut down my recovery time and it's pretty cheap.

Hey, I am wondering why our Glutamine product isn't mentioned? Is it because no one knows much about it? We use the highest quality Glutamine Peptides and blend it with L-Alanine (25%) for a good combination of peptides and the second most utilized amino when the body is stressed. Not pimping here, just wondering.

did not know. I have been using Ener-G
Glutamine Peptides!
I will have to give your product a try since I am so happy with Product X.
when are you coming out with a new creatine formula based on ethyl creatine?

Prolab Glutamine is great . Glutamine is already costly but I got the deal buy 300 gms and they gave you a 100 gm container free with it. Glutamine sure is great for recovery as wel las the numerous benefits such as aiding cell volumisation.

I 'DID' use your product, and felt it was beneficial. BUT, when you compare it to something like SANS Glutamine - its not a toss up anymore. I had a very hard time getting your product 'down the hatch'. It just tasted and mixed bad. SANS tastes good and it mixes instantly. Just my 2 cents. I love your NO2 product, waiting for the 'improved' version before i buy more.

Good feedback. I will check and see how we can improve the ability to gut down the GLutamine. ;) As for the Cold Fusion Enhanced, it should be on bb.com by now. Taste is a little different, but it is really a great product for stamina.

Has anyone used Higher Power Glutamine? It's $30 for 1000gm and micronized. Anyone know if it's pharmaceutical grade. The grade of glutamine is all I see that counts in different pure glutamine products.

I'm sure this has been asked before. If ones whey shake contains 3.5g of glutamine. Why buy Glutamine? also considering only 3g gets ingested.
Twinlabs and Prolabs always have quality products. I'm using Iron-Tek Glutamine and have no complaints.
All thee companies you listed(I would add MRM to that List) use the same Manufacturer. The only difference is the label nad how well the product is packaged. Thre realy isn't much to debate when it comes to Glutamine. I will say, on a few occasions Beverly Internationals gluamine was chunkey and sour. Although they use a different manufacturer than Prolab this problem is due to poor packaging and storage. It is funny when a company tries to claim product superiority by listing "pharmacutical grade" Yes the product is good enough to sell at Walgreens phamacy! Buy Glutamine in bulk from a reputable supplier.
Twinlabs glutamine fuel powder. I got 3 big ass tubs for $30!!
Thre are only 3 major domestic manufacturers of glutamine. Unlike most supplements which require the company to blend various compound in carfully thought out ratios, L-Glutamine is L-Glutamine. You can pick it up in bulk very cheap as long as you don't care about fancy labels and athelete endorsements. As a sponsored NPC athelete and nutritional distributor, I have quite a bit of products which I have been given to try. I am selling them really cheap and buying high quality product in bulk, which allows me to make formulas which suit my specific needs. If you are interested in perchasing name brand products super cheap contact me through my website www.ironmattallen.com
I don't know where Genetec EnerG Glutamine Peptides gets there raw glutamine from, or what they do with it once they get it, but it works better for me than any other brand I tried prior to 9 months ago. Much faster recovery and better muscle mass (and hardness) retention.
I'd be curious to find out more about glutamine peptides vs regular glutamine and what transport mechanisms are used effectively.
...I am selling them really cheap and buying high quality product in bulk, which allows me to make formulas which suit my specific needs. If you are interested in perchasing name brand products super cheap contact me through my website www.ironmattallen.com
How come when I click on your "store" link on your website, I am told that I need to pay a monthly fee in order to receive advice and buy products from you?
Besides, I thought this thread was about glutamine
I'm sure this has been asked before. If ones whey shake contains 3.5g of glutamine. Why buy Glutamine? also considering only 3g gets ingested.
Most companies list Glutamic acid as glutamine which it is not. If the label says 3.5 g of added L-glutamine then they are not misleading you. Most of the time they iflate the glutamine content by including glutamic acid as part of the total glutamine. Even if there realy were 3.5 grams of L-Glutamine, that would not be enough for a weight trained individual. Depending on your size, caloric intake, and training intensity 20-50g of L-Glutamine is optimal. Glutamine is not like creatine, where the body can only utilize a specific amount, above which it is wasted. Worst case scenario, excess glutamine can be converted to glucose to fuel your workouts. If you have more questions contact me through my website www.ironmattallen.com I have sevices which require a fee, but basic questions like yours I always answer for free.

Why buy glutamine when you look at whey protein's amino acid profile:

Alanine 1131
Arginine 491
Aspartic acid 2360
Cysteine/ Cystine 588
Glutamine 4211 (hmmm 4.2 grams of glutamine per whey serving, why buy glutamine by itself then?!)
Glycine 400
Histidine 339
Isoleucine 1371
Leucine 2371
Lysine 2106
Methionine 407
Phenylalanine 670
Serine 1147
Taurine <0.01
Threonine 1642
Tryptophan 409
Tyrosine 602

red bak (australian brand) micronised l-glutamine has been great for me , whilst on the musashi , i could barely drag myself out of bed after an "all-out , super intense leg workout" on this stuff my legs still feel pumped but the not quite as sore . It's made by a company called degussa - for what thats worth .

I really like Glutamine peptide by metabilic nutrition
Anyone know anything about this Glutamine product? Audioslave's best supplements for mass says to consume 15-25g glutamine per day. Each capsule contains 1 gram. I have been taking 15 per day (5 pre wo, 5 post wo, 5 b4 bed), thats 15 g per day. To reach 25g per day, I would have to take 25 pills. Isnt that a little too much. please help

i mix mine with my shake in the am and right after my workout. i have been using MetRx Nos L-Glutamine (10.3g Glutamine & 1.5g Arginine), I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet.
powder is better then the pill, because it gets absorbed faster post-workout than a pill would, which has to break down first. Powder is already ready for absorbtion.

don't take pills, see my post above.... you need something with a higher dosage than 1g. that's nothing. i've read before you need 2g in the am, 2g right before bed, and about 10g post workout.
