Glutamine for recovery

[scoop44]

I just got some glutamine and was thinking about taking it before bed. I worked out at 1:00pm today and already feel sore from squats. Would a juice of some sort help it "work" better or faster?

taking supplements with grapefruit juice or with black pepper can make them stronger

No and no. See the current thread on Glutamine.

Glutamine in a non-essential amino acid. Meaning that your body can manufacture it itself.

Glutamine supplements aren't very helpful IMO

I have no personal experience with Glutamine...

Take after workout and before bed. You can also take pre workout. 5g each time

I have not seen any literature backing this up.
Besides I would rather lean towards taking complete protein sources before hitting the sack rather than a single amino acid which by the way is non-essential to begin with.

Theres nothing that will make taking that glutamine noticeably beneficial.

No supplement is going to help with soreness. Glutamine is not going to make any difference in recovery. It can help with gut health though.
