Hey. I bought L-Glutamine last night.. It says I can mix 4 to 8 ounces of favorite beverage with the powder.. and drink it an hour before your workout.

Have u heard of anyone who has drank gatorade with it?

No.

Drink it afterwards. It would probably work better. I found when I started using it years ago, it had a slightly better effect afterwards, especially as it's a Protein synthesiser.

Gatorade would probably work with it, but as for having a synergistic effetc, I don't really think so. That kind of effect would be created with something like Creatine, or a Carb free Protein powder.

Gatorade, would also just cause a very fast energy spike that would taper off, as simple sugars get into te bloodstream at 30 calories per minute, whereas complex Carbs are 2 calories per minute.

Not satying Gatorade is useless or not worth it, but I don't think you'd necessarily need to use it. I only drink water during workouts.
