Never personally rated glutamine as a supp anyway. Some good refferences, however sound bites from abstratcs etc etc do not make for conculsive assumptions.
quote:
Studies involving oral ingestion of stable isotope-labelled glutamine indicate that 50-70% of enterally administered glutamine is taken up during first pass by splanchnic organs (gut and liver). (G14).
This is true for most amino acids ingested. The small intesitines and liver metabolise a large % of amnio acids ingested. I do know of research in animals that has demonstrated significantly evelated blood glutamine concentrations after an oral dose in horses. Dosn't mean much mind you but there you go.
I belive the bottom line is this; if you are already ingesting large quantaties of protein then there will be little need to ingest any single amnio acid as an addition to your diet.
That, in one line, is pretty much what I say.

I take Glutamine, I get less DOMS. I take less Glutamine, I get more DOMS.
Regardless of all the research, I can't argue with that.

In line with the good points that James has already made, anybody who has conducted any form of research knows that statistics can be manipulated to tell a story. And also, there even exist epistemological schools that provide a very good argument for why we shouldn't rely on the notion of 'positivism' that these type of studies follow, showing that 'science' shouldn't necessarily be seen as the final word.
It is the case though that through time and social conditioning we have become psychologically hard-wired to see 'science' as authority, which is what supplement companies thrive upon. 'Science' used in marketing is a sales technique just like a claims of a 'Doctor's endorsement' or 'availability for a limited period only'. Buyer beware, because these tactics are designed to prey upon the mental short cuts we take when making purchase decisions!

Take a painkiller. For me it's strength or muscle gains over Glutamine. I rarely get DOMS but that'll be because I use a shed load of whey protein which is rich in...
