In the same way as there's muscle memory - so if you once had it, you can more easily regain it. Is 'fat memory' a thing?
@@stevecarruthers87 its all about metabolism. If u lose weight and u have a slow metabolism genetically, u will regain that fat quickly if u dont look at ur diet.
In one of you’re articles from the website it says that glutamine is used for amino acid spiking so is it okay for it to be contained in protein powder or not?
Can I take it as a 15 yearold
So, take it with carbs, right?
Can u make the music louder please
To save your time. As a living example after testing Glutamine over 2 weeks:
- Faster recovery and muscle soreness ( I take 10 grams per day). Able to work intensely two days in a row.
- Feeling less tired during the training
I thought it was bull after using it for 2 months but soon as I didn't buy any more there's a definite increase in recovery time being sore as f for days longer
Do y take it during or after a work out?
@@Yoboyperez I take it after the gym mixed with my Iso whey
Any brand recomendarions
@@coffeebean9956 USN Pure Glutamine
I asked for it and you guys delivered it. Much gratitude!
It's especially useful as you get a bit older, when recovery from muscle soreness takes longer.
I just started taking it today. Im hoping it helps cause im almost 40 and I do 2 days on one day off splits...and my day off..im dead tired. I wasnt like that when I was 20!
@@billysonlinesurveychannel8247 I take about 25g a day. I unload at ups. IT HELPED ALOT
@@isaacmettle Thats awesome. I hurt my knee at work so been off just after I started it but my knee is better and I can start training tomorrow so im really hoping this stuff helps. Glad to hear it's helping you Ill let you know how it goes for me after a week or two of it
They say that helps with intestine, is this true?
@@lucashenriques4242 yes that's true. I used to have gastritis all the time. However, when I started taking glutamine, my gastritis healed *fast*
L-glutamine is supposed to stop ✋️ sugar cravings. I use magnesium for sugar cravings but will definitely try L-glutamine too since it helps recovery after lifting.
Inositol also helps tremendously w/ sugar cravings
I think myprotein is underrated due to the fact that you can clearly see that most of their representatives are naturl athletes. Sad to see people turning to fake self proclaimed naturals selling lies.
You just made a new fan from all these information that you are sharing in a very professional manner. I promise you guys, once I get rid of my financial worries I'll get every single supplement I need from you.
Cheers! 💪 stay strong.
Great Work
Thank you very much for this video. Thumbs up from me 👍🏻
I have L-glutamine 🌸 I did feel that it helped aches 🌸
Thanks lot for sharing ❤️
The music is annoying
Shut the fuck up bro
You come here to listen to music 🤣
Music is totally garbage.
Too loud
You’re annoying
It’s like a rave.. all this background music on social media has gone well over the top 😅
Excellent. I'm studying sports nutrition right now in my integrative nutrition course and I'm doing my presentation on L-Glutamine Today. Wish me luck! My conclusion is if you preform med-high intensity exercise over 2hrs you may see a tangible benefit from L-Glutamine supplementation in terms of recovery speed.
Glutamine seems to both chill me out and make me more motivated. I believe it balances a excess of glutamate. It's very interesting!
U just got ur self a new subscriber thanks for the information . I have a question is it ok to have glutamine, creatine and whey protein same time or different times of the day ? Plz answer
On my bottle of Allmax L-Glutamine it says you can add it to your protein shakes. And it gives a bunch of other suggested usages.
Just a warning about l glutamine... I started using it just 2 tablets per day to help my leaky gut. However over a short time I developed dreadful insomnia .. some nights I was lucky if I slept 1 hour. I only discovered after 2 months of suffering that the l glutamine was metabolising into glutamate .. causing my brain to be hyper energised preventing sleep .. the levels of Gaba in my brain were imbalanced. I didn't suspect l glutamine to be the cause until I found an article which explained how some people can be adversely affected this way. A few days after stopping the supplement my sleep is returning to normal thank goodness.
F**** hell that’s bad
Add glycine, probiotics, omega 3, vitamin d3,
Gosh, thanks so much fir posting this, really useful
Glycine might help
Do you workout at night?
I put a couple scoops of BCAA's and a couple scoops of L-Glutamine in my protein shake post workout
Could you give short info about ZMA ?
love this video!
I also take glutamine for helping with bowel and digestive problems. It also helps a bit with mental sharpness. But for side effects, note that it can interfere with your sleep (esp if taken later during the day), and it is a 'food' source for cancer cells and tumors!
How is it a food source for cancer and tumors..? Is it too risky? I am considering taking it for my gut health
@@Ann-wu4uq I don't have enough information to properly answer your question. It is better if you search about this topic. I just know that it is a food source for cancer cells. But I personally take it off and on for gut health. It also helps with immune systems. I think you can easily start taking it without having any worries, as many do.
When to take glutamin?? How can we take fruit juices , with glucose or anything else.. please reply
As it's just an amino acid, it would probably a bit overkill to supplement this when ur already getting enough protein in ur daily diet and also using whey protein, right? Since whey already has all the amino acids in there.
Glutamine plays a huge role in our body!
... As far as L glutamine Is concerned I take 10 grams three times per day totalling 30 grams a day...... is this considered a waste of glutamine ? Thanks in advance
Is it best post workout?
I am taking L‐Glutamine for my psoriasis (leaky gut). I legit notice a huge boost in recovery (or far less soreness 12-24 hours after training). perhaps, i was lacking in L‐Glutamine in the first place (hence the leaky gut).
Has it helped the psoriasis?
@@mainaccount7585 yes, i am seeing some improvements.
@@evertchin Same, I'm seeing an improvement in just 5 days use, I'm using the brand KAGED Muscle
What's the best time to take L Glutamine for IBS?
Is there any difference between glutamine and L- glutamine
Hi, and congratulations for the good job.
When is the best time to take glutamine? On an empty stomach? Or rigth after a meal?
I take 20g a day, 10g on empty stomach 10 minutes before first mal. Another 10 before my last meal of the day
@@tonya5002 Greetings , I take the same amount of l glutamine as you. 10 grams twice per day. I also take other supplements such as creatine, protein powder & vitamins with an average diet. I do feel strong and healthy but I do not know what the glutamine is doing for me personally, probably doing the same for others at 20 grams per day. What do you believe the glutamine has been doing for you and me at that dosage for 6 months now ?
@George_Panagiotopoulos
The general advice seems to be: on an empty stomach, because other proteins interfere with the uptake. That means at least 30 min before a meal.
Morning seems to be a good time.
And increase the dose slowly to be safe.
These are just general advice I gathered because I'm just starting my own supplementation of Glutamine.
I'm told ot should not be taken at the dame time as creatine. Is that true?
In one of your articles from the website it says glutamine is used for amino acid spiking so is okay for it to be contained in protein powder or not?
It's an amino acid itself. It will likely be in whey naturally as whey is a complete protein.
@@curtisboreham5152 Hello I have a question for you regarding glutamine..... I just recently learned that if one is eating a lot of protein food and shakes, then I should be getting all the glutamine I need. Do you know how much glutamine for every 100 grams of protein ? Thanks in advance
Use it on it's on. .
I eat 0 .8 grams of protein per pound of my body weight a day.... As far as L glutamine Is concerned I take 10 grams three times per day totalling 30 grams a day...... is this considered a waste of glutamine ? Thanks in advance
Simple the research shows it helps it many factors just look up the data
What are your thoughts on supplementing this in my dogs diet? Also he is approx 32-34 kg, so if this could aid in muscle recovery for Jim, how much do you recommend? Thanks
I personally would try it. 🐕 I want to keep my pets living healthy lover lives.
Go for it. I’d start one cap powder for 6 days watch the stools. If it’s too loose then half that for few days. What about healthier eggs 🍳 scrambled.
what exercises he be doing??
@@chancedtm his squat pr should be around 100lbs
@@lucid9637 😭😭😭😭😭
how's it going with your dog? Have you put him on it?
I am hoping it heals my gut after surgery💫
How’d it go?
Doesnt L Glutamine (and glucose) drive cancer? Yes. I'd get levels checked before doing any supplementation....plus spikes blood sugar levels.
Cancer needs sugar and glutamine to survive
When should I take L glutamine before after or during exercises in the gym?
5g before and 5g after. also 5g in the morning and 5g before sleep = 20g/day

Cut the music..
does it aid in consistent shoulder pain,muscles in spasm?
You might need magnesium

Sometimes you don’t notice until you stop using a certain supplement.
@@RP.123 makes sense
So since most capsules are 1000mg you take 20 capsules a day??
@@mammamaggi I take 10 grams of powder and throw it in my mouth swoosh it with water morning and night
@@RP.123 I herd that if you already eat a lot of protein a day, you dont need to take as much glutamine. Out of curiosity, how many grams of glutamine per 100 grams of protein ?
0.3 g / kg Bodyweight is crazyly much!
Do you really mean that?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm curious as to why you would have music running over the top of your detailed narrative. Makes it very difficult for people just looking for the facts to listen to. We don't need a Disney movie......just the information on glutamine. I'm bailing on this channel.
I'm 68 kilogram weight so it means i have to take 20g of L'Glutamine per day ?
No... that's not right.. your body makes it already jist supplement with 2 g
@@nolesy34 OK . Thanks alot 🙏
@@nikonike163 be well👌
Do this have dairy?
No x
Soreness is not a sign of muscle repair though. It's a sign of too much lactic acid build up after an exertion. Often times if you work until soreness occurs you have exhausted ghe muscle too far. No pain no gain is fun to say but it's not true all the time.
HOW LONG CAN WE CONTINUE TO TAKE GLUTAMINE
UNTIL U DED
20 grams of glutamine is so much to take everyday
You will naturally be eating around 6-10 grams of glutamine anyway from whole food sources. You can then supplement an additional 5/10
Shut up. It’s not a huge dose

As a 185 pound person you need 25G per day? That is a pretty large amount of powder 😂
❤❤❤
I am not taking 6 scoops a day… that’s ridiculous 😂
ok. To save your time. As a living example after testing Glutamine over 2 weeks:
- Faster recovery and muscle soreness ( I take 10 grams per day). Able to work intensely two days in a row.

L glutamine vs Creatine, different?
Yes there different
@@bobmarleyszaaa do you believe that L glutamine is seriously beneficial and worth it ?
totally different. take both
Music needs to be louder-some annoying prat keeps talking over it making it difficult to enjoy the pretty music, thanks!
Glutamine also feeds cancer along with sugar, so you need to learn a little more.
Can also help digestive issues
Who else is here bc of tiktok 🌚👀
The music is so distracting!
🌞
Next time also include- pounds grams
Use glutamine on its own. .
I'm a influencer 😌
bravo
Sorry the music is irritating
Unless you have a gastrointestinal disorder, supplemental glutamine is worthless.
Outside of GI disorders, postoperative glutamine is about the only scenario where it's supplementation has any degree of merit.
Lies

What lies?
Do it in 100 seconds
thats what she said...

55 grams of this per day what the hell lol

Why on earth would you play music while you're talking? Don't you want your viewers to hear you properly?
Your either on glute or Creatine 😂
both
It's being said that glutamine is harmful for cancer .. .. .. Is it true ?
This guy is a muscle building expert🤣🤣😅
Music doesn’t add malus, just distraction. Sorry. Prefer just silence.
Then mute 🙄
That music. Horrible. Don’t try so hard
The music is extremely annoying!!!!!
So i can take my glutamine pills after a workout w a protien/waxy maize shake
So basically it's useless! Okay got it! 👍🥱
