HGH and recovering from muscle injuries (using L-Glutamine)

**Wotan** · 17-03-2010 10:27 AM

Precisely!

I did say that I used fizzy water because a) it improved the taste of the stuff and b) it appeared to work better than using just plain water. I even suggested using a fizzy vitamin C tablet because c) it disguises the taste even more and d) the vitamin C, if it had any effect at all, it would only be a positive one.

I also said, however, that I had no idea as to why this should be so. The fact that no-one else appears to have one either needn't stop it from being so however, need it?

You can't have a blind, placebo-controlled study if the subjects can tell, by taste, which is the placebo and which is the active ingredient!

Because I wanted to know why a FIZZY drink is suggested

Well, now you know - nothing more scientific than it improves the taste/drinkability!

Doesn't taste too bad to me.

EAA's are far worse!

AAKG, Citrulline Malate, Taurine, Beta Alanine & Cafeine tastes like sick

Yes, I can't account for that. Some people have told me they find the taste refreshing - personally I find it "metallic" sort of. It lingers as well.

No accounting for taste (literally in this case) I suppose.

It's not pleasantly refreshing but it will perk you up!

I haven't read all of this thread but the first few pages.

Could you confirm that first thing in the morning before eating, an hour before bed (before a pre sleep slow release shake) and any other time between meals is 'okay' to be consuming L-glutamine?

I do my abs & cardio first thing in the morning.
On waking i drink a pint of water, take 5g of Glutamine & 5g BCAA.
Around 20 mins later i take my fat burner stack with grapefruit juice and do my c&a.

What i'd like to know is

a) Will the BCAA negatively impact upon the glutamine?
b) Is the 20 mins too short a time frame before taking my fat burner stack?
c) I also take 5g L-G & BCAA after training, 30 mins before my first 'proper' meal. With the half-life of caffeine lying around 4-6 hours, will this have a negative effect on the Post-cardio BCCA/L-G?

Thanks in advance
