Does glutamine need any kind of insulin spike like creatine? Or does it get absorbed into the body ok all by itself?

No insulin spike is needed. However, some resaerch suggests that it is absorbed better on an empty stomach (something to do with enzymes). That's why I take it before my workout.

actually there is research that suggests creatine is effective with out the juice/sugar it is usually taken with. I will dig this up and post it later.
