What does /fit/ think of glutamine?

I use i (a heaping spoonful in water after workout) but it tastes like SHIT.

I don't use whey or roids...any reason I should buy whey instead of glutamine?

l-glutamine is the most abundant and important amino acid. Everybody involved in fitness should take it.. It helps recovery along with other things.

I use glutamine too. Along with BCAAs, yeah, they taste like ass.

I take a spoonful because if I mix it with my whey it'll funk up the taste.

If you're skipping the whey (which is fine), just make sure you're not skimping on your daily protein intake AT ALL. Glutamine helps with better protein synthesis, so no protein = might as well drain it down the shitter.

Good luck.

buy whey AND glutamine..

the above two and a multivitamin would be all you need for a great supplement foundation.

As far as I know it's smarter to take BCAA instead, cause the body will transform it into glutamine if needed.
Pure glutamine though is not well absorbed.
But inform yourself.

pure glutamine is great as a post workout supp.. I mix 5g in with my 50g protein shake daily post-workout.

OK, OP here,

I have a gnc and a king soopers(kroger) near my house. What kind of whey should I get and what size? Any flavor better than others?

Also, is there any bad side effect to whey other than farts? Will it negatively affect cardio activity?

You in Colorado? I used to go to King Soopers when I lived there.

I always used ON 100% Whey (ON stands for Optimum Nutrition). Get a small tub to experiment with flavors. You don't want a shit ton of something that tastes gross. You can buy whatever size you want after you figure out what flavor/brand you like.

I liked Strawberry the best and Vanilla the least. Chocolate's a pretty safe bet. Cookie Dough was okay, but after a while I bought nothing but Strawberry.

affordablesupplements.com

bodybuilding.com

Save half of what you might spend at GNC, and shipping ain't too bad, speedy service too.

Oh yeah with affordablesupplements, don't buy anything above $300. They'll turn all faggotty on you and ask that you fax them you're driver's license and credit card number.

Good luck.

I have an abandoned thread on approx the same thing (buying whey online)

anyone used vitacost.com ?

They have 5 pound tubs of ON gold standard flavors for 38.00, and reasonable shipping. They also have an 8% off coupon, which brings the total to like 39.50 for 5 pounds of ON gold. They have an exceptional google shoppers review thing, just wondering if anyone has used them personally.

Regards.
