Maybe it's just me but it seems like Glutamine is a pretty pricey suppl., just wondering why that is. I get mine from trueprotein.com 1lb. is about 16$ which isn't bad but i've seen worse at Suppl. stores for about double the price. if your taking about 20g. of glutamine a day it can get pricey.
On a side note is there a correct time to take Glutamine, I take it PWO and before bed, and when i'm cutting i'll take about 5g. in the middle of the day. does that sound about right

On cutting the only thning I would change is your mid day dose. I would opt for first thing in the morning.

I think Glutamine is really hard to produce which gives it its crazy price tag. A 1kg jar usually costs over $100 around here!

I buy "German American Technologies L-Glutamine Peptides" from Bodybuilding.com, it cost $32 + shipping for about a three months supply.
