UseoForce Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 I haven't changed my protein intake much. In fact, I might have reduced it a little. But yeah, I'm aware of the placebo thing. I'll keep that in mind. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
AnonymousOne Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Is it a worthwhile suplement or not?I use L-Glutamine and the effects are very noticeable 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.

Aodhan Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Is it a worthwhile suplement or not?I use L-Glutamine and the effects are very noticeableWhat are those effects? And are there other things in the supplement besides the L-Glut?Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
UseoForce Posted July 19, 2006 Author Posted July 19, 2006 I now use whey with added glutamine in it. I feel less soreness and muscle fatigue. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!

RicksonFan Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Medici said it all, except he should have added that BCAA's are what muscles use for fuel. Without them the muscles break themselves down to get them, so the more you have the less muscle break down occurs. I don't remember why the EAA's need to be with them, but I have heard that they do. Do note that whey protein has a good amount of BCAA's usually. (I don't know about EAA's). As far as glutamine, take it with your protein shakes or food. The best food source for glutamine is turkey, second is eggs I think.
RicksonFan Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Ah... but no one has mentioned the final amino acid for athletes- arginine! Arginine helps with HGH production in the body, and is used in the production of creatine. It's a precursor for nitric oxide (look up the product NO2 for all that info). Apparently if you take in 4g a day in one big dose, your body can make more NO and so on. Then there's products like NO2. Now, I've tried NO2 and most of their claims didn't fly with me, but I did notice that my workouts went a LOT easier. But at the price, it's just not worth it to me. I take regular ol' arginine just to make sure.Hope I didn't get too off topic there.
Akaratechick Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I take Glutamine and whey protein.I started the whey after an intense workout which does have some Glut in it but then added the Glutamine an hour before practice, I can see a difference in muscle energy, ie arms and legs don't feel like lead after 40 min. of basics and before sparring. Can't hurt to try it to see if it works "All your life you are told the things you cannot do.
