My opinion:
I used to use glutamine during cutting and only cutting. Never saw us useful for bulking, but once I got ready to enter grad school, It became a supplement I could no longer afford and because its a supplement, I knew I didnt need it anyway, so I dropped it. After a year or year in a half, I had great results both cutting and bulking. Now that I can afford glutamine, I wouldnt buy it. Its obvious to me that I didnt need it. Why? Glutamine is the most abundant free for amino acid in the body, its close to impossible to deplete your bodies natural stores. Some exceptions may be the combination of intense cardio and intense training each day for 5 or more days, which isnt likely for bodybuilders who are educated. I remember reading several places including Tufts Nutrition (one of the most respected nutritional institutions in America) that glutamine wouldnt absorb in a high caloric diet, thus turning to waste and being secreted via urine, thus making it undesireable for bulking.
People also say "well glutamine boosts the immune system" well I say whoopy shit, so does sleep and various vitamins and minerals.
My last argument comes with the price of this shit. To be te most abundant free form amino acid its awful damn expensive. Call me ignorant, but to me it only makes sense that it shouldnt be one of the more expensive supplements around. Not worth it in my opinion.
All this means I say no to glutamine, but I respect and WILL read opinions of those who stand by it, I by no means do not know everything about it, probably a lot of you know much more than I do about it and Im always willing to learn so teach me. ....Comment

Ok G4E....
My personal experiance with glutamine has only been with the proiduct Glutecene Elite. And it's worked for me - I drink it during workouts and one big ass drink before bed time. I have noticed my recovery time increased and my muscle soreness almost to zero the next day or two after a hard training session.
Outside of that product, I have no other peronal experiances to share or provide feedback on.
