Hey guys, I heard from some guys at the gym that if u take L-glutamine with protein it is not absorbed. I thought that was a myth and I've always been taking my glutamine with a scoop of protein, first thing in the morning, post work out and before bed.
What made me have doubts was a thing mentioned in the description of CNP propeptide protein:
"Pro Peptide contains only peptide bonded glutamine at a supplemental level that was determined in one recent study to improve muscle tissue growth. However, that same study concluded that if L-glutamine is consumed at the same time as other proteins or amino acids, the L-glutamine has no effect on muscle growth. A peptide bonded amino acid, such as peptide bonded glutamine, has been shown to be absorbed up to 20 times more efficient than a free amino acid, such as L-glutamine, in the prescence of other proteins or amino acids because peptide bound amino acids are absorbed via a less competitive absorption mechanism."
So is it true or is it a myth indeed and that's all marketing shit? Any senior members care to share some info ?
Thanks.
