Glutamine

gdgut Posts: 19 Joined: 2006/07/03	2009/01/19, 09:48 PM I drink 2 protein shakes a day, but I like to make a few at a time and store them in the fridge at work so they are ready when I need them. I want to start adding glutamine to them, but is it water soluble or is it ok to pre-mix my shakes with glutamine and let them sit for a day?

Just eat whole food and I hope your protein shakes aren't just whey because again another waste IMO. Other then PWO whey is a waste IMO and at that I don't use it for PWO I use Milk Protein Isolate which is a more Casein based with some Whey 80% Casein 20% Whey like Milk. Some people think Whey is the second coming I think it's a waste. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down! http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=15&t_ix=1609 Squat 285 Deadlift 355 Bench 260x2

BCAA's is good on a low calorie diet. Cissus seems to work good and has research to it. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down! http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=15&t_ix=1609 Squat 285 Deadlift 355 Bench 260x2

In simple words it is not cost effective. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

I eat and I eat and I eat and with some MPI PWO and any damn time I please I recover great. Whey doesn't speed my recovery it leaves my hungry real damn fast. I'm not only on this about Whey. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down! http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=15&t_ix=1609 Squat 290 Deadlift 355 Bench 275

Though good, studies are showing that proteins like micellar casein are actually better. Milk has been a staple of bodybuilders for years before whey. There were many very nice physiques built using food. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
