Interesting article written by Fonz, what do you guys think of it?
I can't believe some people still believe in this supplement BS.
There are only 5g of Amino Acids in the Blood stream at any given time. This is VERY tightly controlled by your body.
Out of those 5g of AA's, 61% is glutamine.
So, 3g of glutamine in the Blood stream at any given time.
95%(Probably more) of all ingested glutamine is destroyed by the stomach acids(PH is too acidic). Whatever glutamine manages to survive the stomach intact, can only be used at a certain rate.
Assume, that there is a 66% depletion in Blood stream glutamine(Only 1g instead of 3g(61%)) Therefore, only 2g of glutaqmine can be absorbed by the bloodstream and theoretically be used.
So,what does this all mean:
Out of 100g of ORALLY ingested glutamine, only MAYBE 1-2g can be used AT MAXIMUM.
Complete and utter waste of money IMO.
Now IV Glutamine is another story. THAT works and is what the supplement companies show in websites to fool you.
Devious, devious supp companies.
