L-Glutamine - When?

[callthedoctor]

I just bought and am using for the first time - EAS's L-Glutamine....(unfortunately I didn't see the one about peptides being better until after I purchased so I still need to use it up...)

I've found numerous articles online about it....but was wondering when YOU normally take it...

Seems the consensus is 3x day...morning, post-workout and before bed.

Agreed?

also how many mg do u take a day? and is it better to take it all at once or spaced a few times a day and why? thanks!

i would just suggest to take some post workout in your shake and before bed. Take 5 mg each serving(rounded teaspoon)

I've heard the most important time to take L-glutamine is before bed. If you take 3-5 grams it will increase growth hormone levels while you sleep.

Just realize im thinking of L carnitine da....

 

[jojo77]

do you have to take it everyday? even your off days?

 

[raestacio]

I would take it every day before bed to keep growth hormone levels maximized. Even on off days it is important because that's when most muscle regrowth occurs.

Is there a better brand than GNC pro performance? this says to take it after workout (5g) and then 2 hrs later (5g)?? although i agree it makes more sense to take it b4 bed....
