I've heard things about creatine and glutamine not being a good mix, at least when taken together.

Generally post workout I have a protein shake that already contains about 5 grams of glutamine, however, I am about to take cvm extreme, which I've also heard to take post workout. In the past, I've heard that glutamine and creatine bind to some of the same receptors and in that case your body can only uptake one or the other, so you should try not to take the 2 together.

Any thoughts, cuz i usually always have a shake right after I workout and I def. want to take the cvm cuz I've heard great things about it

Trans had a great write up on why not to take glutamine,but like u I used to take both. If u want to take both, take either one of them right after training and 20-30minutes later take the other.
