I use it. I think I recover better with it. I use about 10 grams in my post-workout shake.

Could u elaborate
I usually don't mind elaborating but the evidence against glutamine's [purported] effects on bodybuilding is so overwhelming that I encourage you to conduct your own quick research :).

I'll point you in the right direction though:

-Effect of glutamine supplementation combined with resistance training in young adults.

-Glutamine: the nonessential amino acid for performance enhancement.

-Addition of glutamine to essential amino acids and carbohydrate does not enhance anabolism in young human males following exercise.

-The effects of high-dose glutamine ingestion on weightlifting performance.

-Facts and fallacies of purported ergogenic amino acid supplements

-Exercise-induced immunodepression- plasma glutamine is not the link.

-Glutamine supplementation did not benefit athletes during short-term weight reduction


^^All titles of peer-reviewed, methodologically sound/relevant studies for your viewing pleasure.

Cliffs: glutamine wont help you with recovery unless you are a marathon runner or extreme endurance athlete or burn victim.


Glutamine may help with immune system, GI benefits.
