Does glutamine powder mixed with water have a bitter taste? I bought a 300g of glutamine powder today and i tried it out and right now im farting so much from it! Does that happen to you guys??

The glutamine I have has kind of a salty taste, i guess thats the best way to describe it. no bitterness. Ive never had trouble with bustin ass when i take it. It might sound weird but try taking it with a tablespoon of vegetable oil , that helps absorption. What grade is your powder? Usually i buy pharmaceutical grade

Young man, please don't buy anymore glutamine. Michael Vick kills a dog every time someone buys glutamine, mmkay.

Glutamine will only make your wallet thinner. Use that money on some dead and tasty animals instead

I tried to look for EAS glutamine yesterday in some store and there werent any popular name brands so i just grabbed this name brand called Precision sport supplments micronized glutamine

Glutamine is bullsh-t in my opinion and even Patrick Arnold says it is worthless as well. The studies that have been done on glutamine are on patients who are HIV postive or on the brink of death due to physical trauma. In those given cases glutamine is sufficient. But normal bodybuilding and powerlifting does not create replicable trauma to the human body so I feel there is no correlation and no benefit.

I suppose if you were stranded on an island and only had glutamine and water (purified) for 4 weeks then it might come in handy, but at any rate save your money. Buy protein or dbol or something that ACTUALLY works.

Just go ahead and finish up your glutamine and don't buy anymore again. Creatine does work and stick with the monohydrate, PLEASE don't get SUCKED into all these other mutated versions of creatine. Its boring, but it sure as hell works and gets the jobs done.

Preworkout: 15g Creatine monohydrate (I usually take mine a couple hours prior to working out to let it full saturate my muscles).

Postworkout: 10g glutamine + 1-2 scoops of whey protein

Your multi-vitamins, pop one FIRST thing when you wake up and pop one again before you GO TO BED. Keep your body with a good supply of nutrients around the clock.

NOTE: If you buy a good whey protein (like Optimum Nutrition or something like that) they are FORTIFIED with amino acids and nutrients....including glutamine. I usually have a couple shakes a day, plus your carbs that you eat have glutamine as well...so what's the point in taking more ? It's an overkill.

The reason why I said earlier if you on an island then it would help is b/c your carbs would be none (hence no glutamine).

there are many discussions on glutamine. some say it's a waste some say it's the best thing since protein. typically though, it isn't a "must have". you would be better off spending the money on creatine imo. i prefer micronized creatine monohydrate. I "load" 15-20g for 1 week. Then I take 5-10g a day for 7-11 weeks more. Some will say loading is a waste, others will say you must take like 25g a day all the time. Play with it and see what works best for you, start with the program i mentioned and move up if you need to. Normally 10g a day should be sufficient, espeically if you haven't used it before. Oh, and I recommend cycling it as well, take a month or two off after every 2-3 months on. That is up for debate by some too though.

I'm not aware of something like that or what the correlation could be. If you could post it I'll check it out, but hanging out in the sun and getting too much UV rays can increase your chance of getting cancer.

Being outside near cars can also increase your chance of cancer due to asbestos emissions from brake pads and the carcinogens that are emitted out dat tail pipe.

Cancer and its causes/origin is a greatly controversal topic. Even if you only want to take 1 multivitamin you'll still be better off vs. none.

I cycle creatine 4 weeks on 2 weeks off. That's just me.

i read the topic about taking 2 or more multivitamin daily can have a higher chance of getting cancer from this forum somewhere.. forgot where i read it off from

Hey, yeah ive taken it before and it gave me gas like crazy too, it actually even made me gain wait and bloated so i stopped it all together!
If you just train on weights for no more than 1hr a day, you wont need the glutamine. Its mainly used if you eat almost no calories while youre working out so your body doesnt use your muscle cells for energy!

When I did take L-glutamine for the first time it gave me straight up runny, watery diarreha...so yeah that's probably common. I don't know if that is the body's way of saying "I don't need any" or what, but yeah.

HELP!

Read the rules bro, you can't ask for steroid sources

You're only asking to get scammed by doing that as well.
