I was wondering what the deal is with Glutamic Acid, how does it compare to L-Glutamine or Glutamine peptides. If I am getting 9-15 g of Glutamic Acid from my Whey Shakes now should I be concerned about having L-Glutamine or Glutamine Peptide added to my supplementation? Would it be nessacary?
They are, in effect, all the same thing.
No it wouldn't be necessary
No need for that. They are technically the same thing. Your body is able to produce glutamine from glutamatic acid.
Back, many years ago, when this got asked weekly I pointed out that the studies were 50-50 (useful vs not). Every 'useful' study ended up coming down to those on a diet and lacking in protein vs those who were not. Given most of us get plenty of protein we won't need it.
Technically speaking it's actually not an amino acid but rather a metabolite of it.
If I had to pick one amino acid that'd be leucine which is out of the 9 essential amino acids the most important one for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
this is true which reinforces my point that amino acids are a waste
and even in agmatine's case it is still going to be found within our body. supplementing sulfate is an option and based on what i've read on it seems to be pretty promising
I wouldn't waste money on it. You can get all the aminos you need through your diet. Most of us eat more than enough protein anyways.
