When and how much glutamine to take?

[midnight_maraud3r]

10g's PWO and 5g's at some other point in the day (training days)
5g's at 2 seperate times on non-training days

does that sound about right? or what would you recommend? also i read that glutamine should be taken alone. is that true?

I am not sure if glutamine should be taken alone or not. I take 5 grams in the morning and 5 grams at night before bed.

Another method is 5g's before and after workout.

5g in the AM - 5g PWO - 5g before bed

I read 5g in morning and 10 b4 bed. Should be taken alone but not necessary.

cool, thanks.

would it be ok to mix it with an ON whey protein shake?

[icomefromchaos]

yep, I just mix it into my protein shakes

Like the others suggested (and I just posted in another thread), I take more glutamine than most. I recommend taking it in the morning and PW. On days you don't workout, take it in the morning and before bed.

that's good. i was worried about having to take it by itself.

thanks again.
