When to take L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine timing is flexible. Common slots are 5g post-workout for recovery and 5g before bed for gut support. Mix into water on an empty stomach. Most healthy adults synthesize enough; supplementation has clearest evidence in clinical contexts like surgery recovery.

With creatine?
