It does not hurt to try glutamine to see if it helps with mind focusing and anxiety. I do still have problems with getting nervous in situations and it happens everytime there is pressure and also lose focus on something (mind wonder), so it doesnt hurt to try it and see if that helps (taking it with gaba in pill form).
If you say so.

Bear in mind that unless you're taking glutamine via parenteral administration, you're not going to see much. The majority is absorbed by the GI tract in oral administration, so it takes stupendous doses to affect blood levels.

Hope you can afford it.

how often do you think I should take creatine per day? in the morning and mid-day or just the mornings once a day?
Just take 5g per day. Doesn't matter when.
