since the penis is a muscle, does the use of glutamine and creatine affect its growth?

Sorry to disappoint everyone but the penis is NOT a muscle! Penis consists of cylinders of spongy tissue.

The penis does extend into the body and theres ARE muscles (the PC muscles) that surround in it there but the penis ITSELF is not a muscle. and NO, working the PC muscles wont make ure penis bigger, sorry.

So dont bother trying penis curls or hanging weights off it... unless that turns you on... in which case, a 'small' penis is the least of your problems..

I am wondering if any other bodybuilders take interest in studying things like amino acids a step further? I mean, it can't be a lost cause can it? Everything in your body is made up from amino's, they are foundation to life.

Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the sequence for muscle tissue. It also happens to be the most common amino acid in MANY proteins. So while you really NEED it, you also GET it in your food.

Also, there is interconversion between glutamine and glucose. If your blood sugar is low and you take glutamine, odds are most of it will be converted to glucose (a.k.a. sugar). I don't bother taking glutamine unless I am also eating carbohydrates. Carbs are a lot cheaper than glutamine power. Supposedly your body can also convert glucose into glutamine...that sounds just dandy to me, but the way to make that happen would be to have lots of carbs and not enough protein in your system, and I don't think that's the best way to build muscle.

Overall, it seems to me that the "buzz" on new supplements is a lot less than it was a few years ago. Probably just as well.

i believe that study came out in 1995.

i've been using glutamine since 1996. studies about muscle performance and glycogen resynthesis just dont cut it.

i perfer to do my own research. nothing beats personal experience.

And how utterly typical of them to not provide a reference to the study they talk about so we can determine how applicable the results were. For all we know that was an elevation of growth hormones in infant pigs...

I did a real quick search of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition for articles mentioning glutamine or growth hormone for the years 2000-2003 and didn't find anything that looked to contain such a claim (Admittedly, I didn't read all the abstracts and I only looked at two of the papers, but I'm thinking it's OK to rule out papers such as: Effects of tuberculosis and HIV infection on whole-body protein metabolism during feeding, measured by the [15N]glycine method in my lazy-mans search...)

Some more fuel for the Glutamine debate

In a recent release of the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the results of a study on glutamine revealed that a single 2 gram oral dose of glutamine elevated circulating growth hormone levels by over 430%! Thatâ€™s right - 430%! Keeping a consistently high level of circulating growth hormone, you are able to combat the catabolic effects of weight training, harness the anabolic activity of increased glucose and amino acid uptake, improve whole body nitrogen retention, and increase lean tissue protein accrual.

I have to point out that I have come across several web pages by trainers who think that most supplements are pointless crap, who nevertheless feel that Glutamine is one of the few valuable supplements.

I also would like to point out this web page by Supplement Watch, an unbiased group dedicated to objective evaluation of supplements that accepts no advertising from companies that make or sell supplements:
