Not sure about g-plenish or peptides, but regular glutamine is pretty much useless unless taken IV. I will post study tonite when I get home from school.
I currently use GNC's L-Glutamine 1000mg tabs. I take four of those -4000 mgs (or 4 gs) and get alot of cell volumization (pumps) from it and not that sore- even ater heavy workouts. Do get a little bloated though.
I don’t know why but Glutamine seems to help me recover from a cold or the flu way faster. If you’re healthy you can train harder, but as for a bodybuilding supplement, I’ve only noticed a slight reduction in recovery time maybe after a hard leg day. At least it’s cheep now.
Ive noticed most of the same said here, slightly quicker recovery, and Ive noticed after trying to shed fat fast (masive cardio), i dont lose as much muscle. I will actually gain weight or stay the same weight for weeks, as I watch my BF decrease! Got luv that!
Deff intrested in this G-plenish though, can it be purchased any where besides EF???
any comproble brands???
glutamine is one of the most important amino acids. the only reason why its not an essential amino is because it is made in the body. glutamine makes up 60% of the amino acids in your muscles. after hard training your body drains the aminos out of your muscles and you need to restock them. your body cant produce enough glutamine in the time required to repair your muscles as soon as possible. this is why you need to suplement with glutamine. there are so many benifits to glutamine it would take me way too long to type it! there was a good article in 'Muscular Development' november 1996 called 'Glutamine Harness the Pomer' if you can find it you should read it. its very informative on glutamine.
I think one reason people are getting good results from glutamine peptides is their over reliance on whey protein as a protein source. Milk protein isolate has 37% more glutamine than whey protein and even though whey is touted as the worlds greatest source of BCAA's it only has 3% more BCAA's than milk isolate. Milk Isolate has 26% more glutamine than beef and 28% more than chicken breast. If someone consumed 200g of whey protein per day and switched to milk isolate that would be equivelant to adding roughly a serving and a half of ener-g/g-plenish to their diet.
