L-Glutamine...bad with protien? - Vitamins & Supplements Message Board

Many of the posts on L-Glutamine suggest taking it mixed into a protien shake. A buddy of mine said that you should never take it with any protien as they will compete for absorbtion. Also, i've heard 20g / day is recommended: does it matter if taken all at once, on empty stomach, before bed, etc...? Any comments are appreciated.

Hi!

L-Glutamine should not be taken with protein. From my understanding, this amino will battle with the protein, and need to be taken 90 min before a meal or shake, or 2-3 hours after one.

i disagree, they can be taken together fine, i know many pro bodybuilders who take them both at the same time. Example: Craig Titus
