I got my glutamine cheap for helping a supplement wholesaler with some brochures - I don't think I'd pay the sort of money retailers are asking for this stuff.

Traps - I'll take your word for it .

Well...you took it.....were you able to train like a friggen beast and never get sore, ready to hit the same routine with the energy of a 13 year old boy in a porn shop?? Nah....you felt the same. Perhaps you "felt" a little tingle here or a tangle there...lol...but you felt the same....

I was always under the impression that it helped reduce DOMS so it was hard to judge really - every workout is different in relation to DOMS anyway.

Reducing DOMS caused by microtears in myofibril tissue is nothing more than recovery....or protein synthesis. If you really want to get rid of DOMS, take some ibuprofin...

I'm quite attached to my DOMS - lets me know I've worked.

I do like the post workout leucine suggestion of your post and I even gave you a pos rep for it. Leucine is the kick start to protein synthesis.....Leucine as you know is a branched chain amino acid. Free leucine supplementation has been shown in numerous studies to increase protein synthesis....

Me too! Especially since I started DL's! Those were the best!

Ive supplemented with glutamine in the past but not for muscle recovery, didnt help that, but for immune system boosting. Not sure but it did help but it could of been a placebo effect.

Most of glutamine taken orally doesnt make it past your stomach anyhow.

I agree with you nite. I too have supplemented glutamine and it didnt do anything. Although I do believe my ON Whey protein helps my Immune system ALOT. That of course has glutamine......

Some researchers argue that the fall in glutamine levels after exhausting exercise may be related to suppression of the immune system. One investigation of 14 studies found that the self-reported incidence of illness in marathon runners was 32% lower in subjects who had consumed glutamine [9]. However, the mechanism for this is unknown, as most studies have found that glutamine fails to effect exercise-related changes in immune parameters [7, 9, 15]. Two studies have found that glutamine slightly blunts the postexercise increase in circulating neutrophils, but it is unknown whether this is clinically significant [9, 15]. One study also found that among certain marathon runners, glutamine speeded the restoration of circulating lymphocytes [9]. The differences in findings is probably related to differences in study design. It could be that glutamine does not significantly alter the magnitude of postexercise immune changes, but does speed the rate of recovery(of the immune system - Traps), especially in the case of extremely taxing exercise such as marathon running.

I've never tried Glutamine. To me it makes more sense to just take a full spectrum of BCAAs. Maybe I'm wrong and am missing the point of Glutamine.

Proponents of glutamine say additional supplementation will build muscle, increase glycogen stores and improve immune system

However lets take your question a little further. Why not take just leucine, or just all 3 bcaa's....What purpose does it serve to consume all amino's....I dont have any research to show you(havent tried looking) but I would assume its because of this......

Yes leucine will signal the body for protein synthesis, however muscle tissue is made up of all the essential and non-essential amino's including bcaa's. So these amino's are required to build new tissue, or increase the size of existing tissue.....something like that......I've seen a thread in this forum a long time ago(probably been pruned) by Boyd(musclesntx) on this very topic.

Well, I won't touch the leucin issue. I've been doing some reading over at intense muscle and one huge mofo was saying he took leucine immediatly post workout and then his pwo shake 30 minutes later. I believe he took his leucine with creatine as well.

I dont think you read this thread, or I'm misunderstanding your statement. I indicated that leucine supplementation is great. Its glutamine that doesnt do jack.....

The study I posted showed that leucine supplementation with protein and carbohydrate increased nitrogen...I posted the leucine study in the first few posts of the first page in this thread.

Yes, leucine is the big daddy of the BCAA's. Its essential for protein synthesis.

Agreed. Glutamine is a waste unless it comes from the direct supplementation of BCAAs. Of course unless you want to make supplemental love to the digestive linings of your body then go for it!
