Why are you reading this?

My life is boring as fuck compared to bluechromis'... although there is at least an intern here with a crush on me, as indeed there is one most summers. I'm being nice to this year's, because he isn't annoying about it. I think HLM might like me too.

On yesterday's advice, I did decide to split a bottle of stuff that has glutamine and creatine in it with P-boy after talking to him about it for a while, yesterday... and got to pay him back using PayPal, so it didn't even come out of my normal budget. Looking forward to being slightly bigger and a lot less sore, if it works. Also, speaking of products, I found out that Coraline is coming out in paperback on August 1st... okay... so I'll continue to be deprived, but not for too much longer.

Forgot to mention: apparently we're hiring another permanent employee, the first new girl software engineer in a really long time. She's an algorithm chick--and I don't know any algorithm stuff. I feel faintly threatened, even though I'm the one who's been here for four years and has fingers in all the big internal products. The human psyche is a silly thing.

Wait just a minute...

EAS's products page has an ingredient listing for Betagen HP as well (you have to choose it from the "muscle growth" dropdown menu and then click "supplement facts"... and guess what they list in the ingredients? That's right, 2 grams of L-glutamine.

All the other ingredients are listed as being the same, but netrition groups them differently. So now we're thinking the mistake is due to some intern translating between the two forms. I would tend to trust EAS's page a bit more when it comes to the ingredients, since they are the manufacturer, after all...

Netrition.com has earned themselves a nasty letter from me, though.

I was looking at the ingredients on my Betagen (not the HP version) and it has glutamine...so I thought it was strange that the HP version would have glutamic acid, instead. There are other differences, tho'.
I do also take glutamine separately, and won't be continuing with the betagen when I finish it. I have found no advantage at all to taking creatine. It doesn't seem to help me. Some women do complain of bloating when they take creatine. I didn't experience that either.
The glutamine definitely aids in recovery.
