Difference between L-Glutamate and glutamine

Post by Milosz »

What is the difference between L-Glutamate as sold seperate from, for example, a protein powder that contains glutamine and glutamine precursors. If you take the powder does that cover it?

Recently I've considered buying L-Glutamate (but for the uncertainty stated above) and Creatine to supplement diet because it is overall pretty low on calories and I want to work out hard with lots of aerobic exercise as well, but I'm afraid of muscle breakdown.

I don't know much about these supplements but L-glutamate looks like a good thing if you're taking a break from lifting or trying to lose weight through strenous cardio (I know that HIIT and lifting are good enough, but I want faster, better, stronger)

well if you don;t what they are you probably shouldn't be buying them

why the low cal's? you won;lt get anywhere with low cal's...and supp's never replace cals...they don;t do anywhere near the same thing that cal's do...

afraid of muscle breakdaown?? yeah cardio and low cal's will halp that...

Glutamine is an Amino Acid and also a protein synthesiser that is also a Neurotransmitter, that affects sleep patterns positively and increases Immune system responses.
