BCAA's pre(15mins prior)/during/immediately PWO

Glutamine is IMO pretty pointless, but PWO is best bet.

On non-WO days, BCAA's immediately upon waking, and between meals. Glutamine can follow the same protocol

I agree with everything teenage guru said. This would be the best way to get the optimal benefit from BCAA's.

If you want to take it, you'll need to take 5-10 grams multiple times a day (preferably on an empty stomach) if you have regular L-Glutamine. You could probably get away with taking lesser amounts if you have a Glutamine Peptides product.

Keep in mind that unless your training is extremely intense or have digestive or immune system issues, then you probably won't benefit much if at all from Glutamine unless you fit the profile of one who would benefit from its use ...

Does L-Glutamine work?

Glutamine; Why bother????

Supplemental glutamine does have a beneficial role in gastrointestinal disorders (and general gut health) and immune function.

Regardless, you need to take a look at your training and recovery abilities, and honestly ask yourself "am I really placing an extreme amount of exercise stress on myself - training with high intensity and high volume" ...

Good post. I never noticed much from glutamine though I guess others notice some benefits from it. To each their own.
