Would love to hear everyone's point of view ? How about @The Solution @HIT4ME
@Resolve10 Thank you for your response !You haven't seen Bob post on this before?
For muscle building research would say it is probably not very beneficial (rather we get enough through diet relatively easily).
During times of really high stress it may be beneficial.
Some notice beneficial gut benefits with it, some (during highly stressful periods as mentioned) may notice immune benefits, and paired with Alanine (like Sustamine, but also isn't very economical) can help increase hydration status during intense training.
For myself it isn't a deal breaker or something I go out of the way to add, but I don't mind the 5-10g I often find in my intra-workout mix.
Haha, I think it is a good question since it is pretty heavily promoted in supplements. I should have refreshed after I got distracted from posting my response though haha.@HIT4ME always appreciate your opinion !! Thank you!
to be honest I would mirror your thoughts on this one. Gut health is the main benefit and I recall leaky gut and gut issues caused by running to be those especially well served by 5-10g a day.Haha, I think it is a good question since it is pretty heavily promoted in supplements. I should have refreshed after I got distracted from posting my response though haha.
I should have also tagged @Whisky and I know I am forgetting others who teach me things.
The Solution should probably have his own sub-forum with stickies for all the answers he has.
It’s never been a supplement I have thoroughly reasearched or placed much stock in myself, but I think everyone (including yourself) seems to have summarized it well.Haven't really researched it in a loooong time, but my opinion is that, for bodybuilding, it really isn't worth spending money on. Get a good quality protein with the essential amino acids and you should be covered (and food can be that quality protein, not talking just supplements).
From a gut health perspective, particularly under stress, there may be a small benefit.
But that isn't super well researched by me so I would love to hear what others have to say and learn some of the more recent research. @Resolve10 @jswain34 @Ricky10 @SweetLou321
