Creatine Monohydrate / Glutamine Combination?

Read an article that states the positive effects of supplementing with Creatine Monhydrate and Glutamine:

"Creatine and Glutamine

Creatine and Glutamine are two of the few supplements which actually contribute significant ergogenic benefits without adverse side-effects. To test these two powerhouses in combination with each other; an eight-week experiment was performed on 29 athletes by Mark Lehmkuhl et al. [73]. They utilized three groups: a placebo (P) group (.03 g of placebo per kg of body mass, and 4 more grams of placebo per day) a creatine monohydrate (CM) group (.03 g of CM per kg of body mass, and 4 more grams of placebo per day) and a creatine/glutamine (CG) group (.03 g of CM per kg of body mass, and 4 more grams of glutamine per day). Furthermore, they used a double blind test, which means that the subjects and scientists performing the experiment did not know which group they were in; only those overseeing the tests did. Additionally, the diet and training programs were identical for each group. The results showed that the CM and CG group displayed the highest level of performance, and further that the CG group achieved better results than the CM group. The CG and CM groups displayed a significant increase in body mass, LBM, and initial rate of power production during multiple cycle ergometer bouts. The results of the CG group were better than the CM and P groups. However, the authors suggested the results may have been much better with a higher dosage, as only 4 grams is rather small."

thats exactly how I take mine. I take the two and put them into my post workout protein shake

Please do NOT feed the moderators.
