After Your Workout

Immediately after your workout is the most important time to take glutamine.  Glutamine’s positive effects are at their best immediately after your body has experienced plenty of anaerobic exercise.  The goal is to keep the glycogen in your system at its normal level, allowing your body to reduce oxidative stress, improve the immune system, and maintain the integrity of ingested protein.  Be sure that you are well-hydrated at this stage of the day, as the intake of glutamine is directly proportional to how hydrated you are.

Before You Go to Bed 

>As you go 8-10 hours without eating, your body finds itself in a highly catabolic state.  You want to maintain as high levels of glutamine as possible lest you will find your glutamine vastly depleted by the time you wake up.  Although the glutamine will work all of its functions overnight, a high glutamine level at night will be most beneficial for your immune system.  Some products, like AST GL3, are most effective for bedtime use.

When You Wake Up

Even if you supplement the night before, your glutamine levels will not be at their peak when you wake up in the morning.  Just as you need to stock up on carbohydrates and proteins in the morning for energy, you need to replenish your stores of glutamine when you wake up.  Replenishing your supply of glutamine in the morning will ensure that you reach a more anabolic state as early as possible.

Before Your Workout

The last logical time to supplement with glutamine is before your workout.  This helps ensure that your body will have a normal level of glutamine during your workout when it would usually suffer from a slow depletion of glutamine.  This can have powerful benefits for your immune system and help keep your body at a normal pH level, as your body produces more lactic acid than usual when exercising.
