From my own personal experiences
Glutmaine doesn't do shit. I've used the powders and capsules.
I know a lot of guys here will say it's good stuff, but it didn't do anything for me and I'd rather spend my money on a higher quality protein Isolate or a good creatine.
Creatine is where it's at for legal supps.

True zylo glutamine might not have immediate results or noticeable but recovery is shortened.
L-glutamine is the #1 amino acid in skeletal muscle tissue and 2nd is taurine. I take both post workout to help repair the muscle I tore up along with a creatine ester (all is absorbed-unlike other creatines) and of course some whey protein, sugar and a complex carb and all of this is downed after an ALA (R isomer is the best and most effective) tablet which is a great antoxidant, liver protectant and helps shuttle everything into muscle cells due to its insulin like properties.
Oh yeah get TAG which is Trans Alanyl Glutamine is the best and most effective kind of glutamine whereas regular L-glutamine is not all absorbed.
L-glutamine is also great before bedtime to help with natural GH release along with arginine and ZMA...that's what I take every night.

What is a Creatine Ester? I thought there was basically one kind of creatine that you bought? Is the ester also in powder form ?
Any good websites to get Creatine Ester?
I'll give the TAG Glutmine a try as well, I'm pretty sure all I tried was that L-Glutamine and IMO I didn't recover any faster using that or notice any difference and I used it for three months.
Do supplement stores carry the TAG as well? Or is there a special place you get it from? Any good online sites carry it? I don't recall seeing it on shelves anywhere.
Oh yea, Proud, is that you in your Avatar? Looks incredible!

Lots of new information coming out on creatine including the heretical scientific proof that carbloading does not help in the uptake in creatine.
Zylo: Just search "creatine creatinine supplement" and tons of information on the creatine esters will come up.
OTH I take creatine pyruvate for the calcium and heart benefits. So there is more than 1 form of creatine out there in the supplement world.

Aminos that help with recovery of muscles: most of them do, but the main ones emphasized with research are the 3 BCAAs, L-Glutamine, L-Ornithine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Glycine, N-Acetyl-cysteine, and OKG (Ornithine bound to glutamine).
Other recovery aids: Creatine, several nootropics, sodium bicarbonate, fucoidan, Vitamin E (gamma especially), Vitamin C, B Vitamins especially Niacin, B5 and B6, brewer's yeast, avocados, Lemons, and eggs.
There are plenty of others but they were too expensive for me to try on myself.
edit addon: Citrulline Malate and Magnesium Malate. Ease into the use of the magnesium. It took me 4 months. The first 2 weeks at a 1/4 teaspoon dose re-introduced me to the reason some laxatives use magnesium as their base.
I can now take 1 1/2 teaspoons w/o a problem.

Presser-injectable glutamine...yikes!!
Here is link to the stuff I use and actually far cheaper than I pay at about $44/bottle, now I'm pissed!! It may be cheaper elsewhere or have other manufacturers but this is the only one I personally know about and I'm biased towards VPX b/c I've always gotten results with their supplements.

i love glutamine. like presser said, i didn't notice something right away but after a while i noticed my tendons in my knees were feeling much better. also, i seemed to be recovering faster as well.

I have to agree. For a while I was only able to afford soy protein (which I found out later was not good for males--but that's another story), but when I found a good whey protein (which had a lot of glutamine in it) that I could afford on a regular basis, I noticed my recovery time drastically improved.
I'm using 40-50g's of glutamine a day and it's workin like a charm! REALLY cuts down on recovery, i take 10'gs when i wake up, 10 pre-workout, 10 postworkout, 10 in a shake mid-day and 10 before i go to bed. It has MANY benefits, boosts immunity, increasing your body's ability to store carbs as glycogen
