Ha ha, still have no idea what you’re saying by “bioavailability” in layman’s terms do you?
It can literally cure an ulcer, maybe you can google/wiki that and revise your statement?
Again, if you have better credentials (or even a thousandth of the success in that field) of Charles, I’ll acknowledge it and never use glutamine again. Until then, going with the best in the field.

I don’t take everything he recommended no
I did begin taking creatine when I first read an article from him…in 1994. No one even heard of creatine at the time. Same thing with supplementing d3 in higher doses 5000iu’s a day in 2007. That was unheard of but Poliquin was always a step ahead. Everything from popularizing GVT to using nootropics and fish oil before it became big in the bodybuilding community. Everyone else pretty much followed along.
And glutamine I used high doses to cure my ulcer (took less than two months). Doc had me on nexium and an antibiotic at one point. What those didn’t accomplish glutamine did. You won’t hear me say it doesn’t work, even my doctor was impressed.

Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids, but it's also the first amino to deplete. Our amino pools are never satisfied, and if someone tells you they're getting enough amino acids from their diet they're either lying or just don't have a clue

Anything that helps you heal helps muscle heal. No it won’t give you slabs of muscle, roadmap vascularity or turn your body into a fat burning furnace but yes it will help healing and recovery…hence it being a recovery supplement.
Poliquins “crazy” pill popping video was something else…he actually wanted you taking 2-3 caps between sets so by the end of the training session you’re at around 40 caps. If you took it as straight powder in water the equivalent would be about two tablespoons, around the same serving size as a lot of peri workout drinks. He wasn’t a fan of sweeteners that’s why he suggested capsules. He didn’t like filler.
Gironda was waaaay ahead of his time, if you ever fatten up in the winter like I do and wanna see your abs fast look into the steak and eggs diet.
Hope this clears up any misconceptions!

Creatine timing might matter in terms of washout if you are an elite bodybuilder.
But if you are some average ****ing joe working out, you aren't gonna be concerned with washout. And loading is ****ing stupid. I don't care what anecdotal evidence you provide from a trainer.
Science doesn't lie. And it doesn't give a **** what your "feelings" are. Your body cannot absorb 20 grams a day "to saturate", it will use what it can (usually around 5 grams) and the rest gets pissed out.
So unless you want your creatinine levels to be stupid for no damn reason, just use 5 grams.
And Glutamine does have ****ty oral bioavailbilty, it doesn't do well in an acid solution.Krispy Kreme Krew Forever.

Lets not forget "extras" that pro athletes are doing.
When you add in that, it skews the chart a good bit. They have different needs for supplementation than your average gym goer.Krispy Kreme Krew Forever.

Yeah...I mean we all apparently love to see juiced to the gills 'whatever it takes' bros on the protein powder and creatine labels pretending that is how and why they got where they are...but let's remember what it takes to get to those elite levels for, again let's be real, probably 99% of them. And it's more than creatine or glutamine
