You are confusing NO (Arginine) and Amonia (the by product of Glutamic Acid) with creatine

[Zima Power]

No you can take creatine an gluatime at the same time with no problems.

No i dont think he is. Like he said it is an OLD rumour. I heard this when i first joined and it was put to death quickly but it still lingers here and there. Its like herpes once you think its gone, it comes back to say hello.

I started doing some research on this topic and I found this,

He says it does clash with each other. Just started working out so not sure if it is a rumour. Anyone have any good info to back it up if it's true or not? thanks

I have a question...Then why would BODYBUILDING.COM post an article stating that the combination of glutamine and creatine is a negative?

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/johnforb.htm

Two more supplements that you should not take at the same time are Creatine + L-Glutamine. You should not take Creatine and Glutamine at the same time, because Creatine and Glutamine depend on many of the same substrate carriers and co-transporters. When the two are competing with one another for the same carriers, one wins and one loses.


Solution: Simply take them with 2 hours apart. Most bodybuilders are taking L-Glutamine before they train and before they sleep, and Creatine after they train and first thing in the morning. So this way, they give their bodies plenty of time to absorb each one of these separately. For others that train after their breakfast, if you take Creatine only once per day, take it after your training, and on the days you don't train, simply take your second dosage 2-3 hours after your morning L-Glutamine serving, or 2-3 hours before your last L-Glutamine serving.

Complete and utter BS. Please do not spread anymore misinformation. Regarding this:

Bodybuilding.com is not end-all be-all and note that he cited not one scientific reference.
