Sorry about that, Let me proceed:
Glutamine is effective and I recommend it, Glutamine stops catabolism, catabolism breaks down your muscle for energy so it inhibits that. Here is what glutamine is/does
It is the most plentiful free amino acid in the body's muscle tissue.
It is a excellent antioxidant.
It acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain.
It helps volumize cells.
It supresses cortisol (a muscle-wasting chemical).
It improves mental alertness, clarity of thinking and mood.
It plays a very important role in protein metabolism.
It is known to promote anabolic conditions in muscle cells and increase the rate of protein synthesis.
You will want to take Glutamine, I recommend the powder form and mixing it in with your protein shake is not a problem and a quick way to get the best of both worlds, However mild side effects may occur only when taking high dosages although I think you will have no problem with that what so ever.
It also decreases your recuperation time, so if you workout Glutamine is recommended.
Also it is best to take it post workout, so added into your protein shake will be ok.
Taking Ultra Gel will be good and make you more looser and will help you from being sore in your joints especially when lifting and wont take a hard toll on your body and you made a good call on doing so.
You have a good mixture of supplements going and Ultra Gel will help you from feeling sore and being stiff in the bones a bit as well...
Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein...Most protein shakes are formulated with the correct amount of amino acid.
Amino acids are good if you are trying to get in shape and are looking to lose weight and w/ proper dieting, but isnt good for bulking (which I dont think you are trying to do) However it can be a great aid, although your protein shakes should have the correct amount.
A good way to take them, if you are considering them is 1-2 protein shakes a day and then a amino supplement, although your shakes should carry enough of all the 22 amino acids to keep you going.
I cant confirm this but I have heard people say taking an amino supplement have helped them get stronger and build more endurance but not sure if that was due to the amino supplement considering they were on others as well. Give it a shot and see if you like it, but w/ a good whey protein shake it should have enough to carry you over though and you may want to save your money.
