fadi,
Do we really know what we are talking about with glutamine??
apparently not.

I could copy stuff from my course material in this board all night.
Truth is, it works and is effective.
and to point something else out to both of your genius minds, I said RD, not RN!
can you tell me what the differences is?
I supposed you are also going to tell me you use fructose with your creatine as opposed to dextrose and they are both the same thing?
"Based on recent research, it is clear that glutamine plays a crucial role in anticatabolism and anabolism. It also plays a strong role in the integrity of the immune system and intestinal flora. It is believed that these benefits occur from a cellular hydration state that accompanies optimal quantities of intracellular glutamine. If you are interested in increasing performance, muscle mass, or decreasing recovery time, give glutamine a try.
Who knows, it just may be that missing link you've been looking for"

But Fadi and PA say its useless... PLEASE dude.. dont argue with me on this..I will destroy you..
pease out
