Nelson Montana- Glutamine

[Nelson Montana]

Tigrones: I have no doubt you're being ernest. But realze, there are so many factors, such as bio-rhythms that effect mood, recovery, even strength. You could have been in a "better place" when using the glutmine and you naturally attributed your progress to it. But oral glutamne is inert, so it had to be either the MSM or something else.

You also bring up a good point, and that's one of staying in touch with your body. it's a tricky process but one that should be exercised at all times.

Nelson, I always take your remarks seriously (I bought your book too and liked it) as I don't want to be ignorant, but educated (education is progressive discovery of our own ignorance). Having said that, you may be correct about the role that glutamine played in my personal case. But I must not ignore my own positive experience, even though it has been mostly trial and error throughout these years. I do not jump to most of the claims of supplement manufacturers simply because majority of them have their profits in mind without giving a fuck about our hard earned dollars. They will serve all kind of bullshit studies to support their "scientific" facts. yeah right. And glutamine is no doubt one of the supplements that is filling their coffers.
But I am still having a hard time accepting belief that is totally useless product. I'll probably have to experiment more without it and see if I am kidding myself or not.
Your input is always appreciated.

This is the placebo effect. You think its good so you feel good.

Hard to argue w/science bro; hard to argue w/science.

I completely disagree, I have been training for over twenty years.
I know the difference.

FONZ and jboldman

IN regards to fonz's comment:

About 90%(Probably more) of the ingested glutamine is destroyed by the stomach acids.

After that, its probably safe to assume not even 1% gets to the blood(Probably even less....LOL).

As I said, waste of money.


Is this true of taking just a normal protein powder?? with all diff Amino acids in it.
should i even eat protein powders?



and YES, jboldman i would like this study you mention below.

Alfons, why do you have this need for supplementing with a single amino acid? protein and carbohydrates in a certain proportion have been shown to maximize gluscose uptake after exercise. I can post the study if you like. It is a simple and inexpensive solution to post workout supplementation.

I think you're full of shit about L-Glutamine breaking down when exposed to the stomach's HCl, or any gastric enzyme. I think you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I think you're regurgitating bullshit, and misinforming elite fitness members.

If I'm wrong, I'll eat my words and sincerely apologize. How about explaining the reaction to me, using that there picture and some words?

Sublingual glutamine in 3 g doses is supposedly far more effective than ingesting it normally.

Yeah, 3g magically absorbs through the mouth, so its more effective... cause its magic.

All I can say is that it seems to work for me. 1 to 2 % when you are used to being natural is a dramatic swing.
