question on creatine and glutamine, need info

[Gurt]

hey bros, i was just wondering about the daily dosage for l-glutamine. how many grams a day? also, should creatine be taken with the loading for the first week, or is there no difference if you do not load. thanks in advance.

Glutamine is a great supplement, but unless your dieting, you probably get enough from your shakes and whole-food sources. Though if you were still going to take it, I would recommend 15-20 grams a day.
As far as creatine is concerned, the whole idea behind creatine loading is to reach peak creatine muscle saturation in only 4-5 days, as apposed to a couple of weeks. And once you drop down to a maintainance dose of 5 grams daily, that dose is now enough to maintain that peak creatine muscle saturation.
Never the less, which ever route you chose to go, whether load or don't, you'll still end up getting the results.

L-glutamine:

start with low dosage #5g/serving
and increase iof you don't "feel" its effect

I don't think that it is necesary to load creatine..it will work fine if u take 10 grams a day.

Glutamine: 5 g in morning , 5g pre workout, 5g post workout, 5g before bed


Creatine: 5g before workout, 5g after workout with sports drink, 5g on non training days. I've tried loading and skipped it, and decided it doesn't matter, so don't bother.
