ASTANA Posted June 8, 2009 Share Obree - Do you really find a difference in recovery from L-glu ? I could not find that it definitely helped, one improve on training routines and some weeks recover faster naturally and sometimes I just wonder if this is not all a mental thing. I was quite into gym a few years back and I also found this to be true for protein as well. Would you have gained as much without the extra's of how can one compare ?

obree Posted June 8, 2009 Share I take a teaspoon, upon completion of a session, then another before bedtime. For me it "feels" like it works. But yes a good question, I guess you have to try it and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwynn Posted June 8, 2009 Share It definitely helps combat lactic acid build-up in the muscles. Once I start putting in serious km's I start to suffer from muscle pain, L-Glut prevent that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barend de Arend Posted June 8, 2009 Share L-glutamine helps my immune system. I don't get sick so easy when I'm pushing hard. I'm not convinced of any of the other benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASTANA Posted June 8, 2009 Share Good to hear some of you found a way to test the use vs non use (natural you). Helps with not getting sick - nice - should try this then for these winter months. Immune system needs a boost to keep me up and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Badenhorst Posted June 8, 2009 Share Yep, it's a good supplement to take when training hard as it helps support your immune system which becomes vulnerable under such stress. There are different grades of Glutamine, so try and make sure it's the top grade before getting too excited about the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedi Posted June 8, 2009 Share Can't understand why people take supplements. Eat good food. Either to grow muscle faster and/or to aid recovery. It makes a big difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave a spec sheet with it, but I dont know what to look for. How does one determine that the product supplied by various companies, at a pharmacy is "top grade" ?

flex Posted June 9, 2009 Share L Glutamine really does work (at least for me it does)... I use the flavoured Biogen one (lemon lime). Easy to drink as it tastes nice. Worked like a bomb for Epic training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
