L-Glutamine and do I need other supplements??

By the way, people may not want to soend their money on glutamine before reading this and this. It's heavy information but will help you choose your poison.

For those that don't want to read a lot of interesting info, this is the gist of things according to these two articles:

"Glutamine is good for hospital patients and rich people with money to waste. If you’re involved in resistance training and already have proper post workout nutrition, along with a moderate carb intake, then glutamine probably won’t do anything for you. In fact, none of the proposed theories dealing with glutamine supplementation have worked out in the athletic world. It’s also one of the most expensive supplements around (simply based on dosage recommendations), so it’s way too costly to use for personal experimentation — especially when the updated scientific literature doesn’t support the theories."

Good article...

Time to do some more research..

Think I hold on to my Glutamine and start taking it again when I am trying to get more cut.

"The other time that glutamine supplementation may be beneficial to bodybuilders is when on a low carbohydrate diet. Glutamine can not only be converted to glucose, but may also have an anapleurotic effect.(5) In other words, it may replenish metabolic intermediates, in this case, ATP (especially important when you're lacking carbs). This is another article unto itself, so I'll leave it at that for now."

I am going to start on my first Creatin "treatment" when I get back from snowboarding in france..
