um no, glutamine actually enhances the uptake of creatine... use them at the same time, 5 g of glutamine and 5g of creatine.. john  | ||

I knmow what your talking about nobu. When glutamine first hit the magazines, they raved about taking it with creatine. Then some studies DID come out saying they use the same absortion route, and taking them together means neither is utilized optimally. At that point the magazines already had their "Creatine/Glutamine" products on the market, and werent about to give the new findings any play. I believe they are more effective seperatly, and they both need to be taken with the smae type and amount of carbs... | ||

Like the monster said, the original studies indicated that the two compete for absorption, and should be taken seperately. Also, if you are looking for the GH releasing properties of glutamine, take with a carb drink at bedtime, not protein. |
