There could only be one reason creatine supp. would work imho. And that is, if amino acids compete with each other in your bloodstream and your brain. I can attest that L-trypophan definitely helped me sleep 25 yrs ago when it was coming out of Japan. But it couldnt work if ther is no truth about amino acids competing with each other. On the other hand, I have glutamine for a month both before and after the workout, both mixed with plain water and also with whey protein shakes. It did nothing. So how could one amino acid work and the other did not. Personally, I think after living 54 years and watching the protein shakes Arnold and Franco and the IFBB guys promoted for Joe Weider, and after wasting half my paycheck for months as a teenager buying them and getting zero result, and all my friends hvaing the same reaction I say this...........the health food industry is for the most part a legalized scam. Yes occassionally something like melatonin comes out that does help you sleep, but thats a real Hormone. And I spoke to a guy at Golds gym that swore Arnold would never use protein shakes and most of the other pros didnt either. There will never come a time when whey will outdo real chicken or fish or beef in being digested by your body. Yet, at my age I still gave it a shot again, but just because I was on gear and was hoping the gear would make it work. Plus a shake is a lot more convenient than cooking something. Anyone want to bet me supplements for the most(not all) part doesnt work, lets bet $500 on this:

Put 2 men of equal health and weight into a prison cell or anyplace they cant get food from the outside. Now, feed 1 man only whey protein shakes with nothing but whey and water 3x a day. And feed another man an equal amount of chicken breast that equals out to the same amount of grams of protein. Lets see who gets deathly sick first. All my money is the guy drinking the shakes gets awfully sick in under 2 weeks.

And remember, in prisomns years ago they would keep men on bread and water for years and they wouldnt die. Could you keep a man on whey shakes and bet the same would happen? No. And the reason can only be 2 things:either they arent digested by the body due to lack of enzymes or processing or whatever, or...the ingredients listed on the label is not what you are really getting. You know what I love about a pound of chicken. I am going to get about 100 grams of protein no matter where that chicken comes from and my body IS a going to treat it as real food! I personally would love to see studies done by the govt or independent unbiased sources where they fed people whey protein shakes as their only source of protein along with their regular diet and see what is digested by the body. After all these years, do any of us have a clue as to what percentage of protein powder is really being assimilated? Is it 33%? 20%?, 2%?, nothing? Nobody knows and why dont we see reports being thrown in our faces by the supplement industry as to how well protein shakes stack up to regular animal protein? One body builder who knew Ferrigno and all the guys competing in the 70's and 80's when they still had both milk and egg protein pwder told me that they would tell him that after the show a lot of the sponsors would try to give away thier product to the guys for free and either the guys threw them in the garbage or sold them to some poor shmuck for pennys on the dollar. There universal rely..."Your body cant digest this crap." ANY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS! Arnold probably laughs when he sees how this industry keeps coming up with "secret" formulations and people keep buying it.Arnold personally said and I heard it "I dont drink milk. Milk is for babies."(Yet Larry Scott attributes almost all his gains to huge consumption of milk.) Guess what, Dave Draper attributes huge milk consumption to the massive heart attack he had. I guess they didnt make low fat milk back then. How lucky we are and dont know it!

And worse, they think the huge ,ripped guy holding the product in his hand on the beach actually uses it. Do you ever notice you never see any model say in a disclaimer:I use this product daily and feel it is responsible for 25% of my muscle gains? Makes you wanna go mmmmmmmm!!!!

the best time to take glutamine is right after your workouts. i usually take with my creating and dextrose..

It isnt necessary to supplement glutamine as there is plenty in the food you should be taking in as well as most protein powders already having it mixed in.

Glutamine is an amino acid. It's the amino acid which is found most in human muscle tissue. Therefore making it an essential to all bodybuilders. Everyone knows that you need protein to get any bigger, and glutamine is the number one part of the protein the makes you grow. Glutamine is one of the best, if not the
best supplement on the market today.

when i take glutamine i sware its working...just to make myself feel good for not waisting money. when im off i see absolutely no difference. eat meat like beast said

ur better off eating meat

Hey there, Glutamine is the most abundent non essential amio acid in the body.
there is a lot of controversy over whether is actually works or not. many of the people say that when taken orally, glutamine is metabolised before it can even reach the blood stream. still others say that it is the best supplement they take and swear by it. May be the advantages and disadvantages are yet to be approve?. That's all i can say about it.
