Re: Mixability of L-Glutamine

A lot of people take L-glutamine mixed in with their protein drink.

Because l-glutamine is an amino acid, would it not be best to take it

on an empty stomach only?

I mix 15 grams of L-glutamine, 5 grams of creatine, 40 grams of protein, and 28 grams of carbos as a post workout drink ... tastes pretty good with the flavors I use.

Hi guys,

What is the recommended dosing for L-Glutamine?

Thanks,

Mixability of L-Glutamine

Just want to offer my opinion on the mixability of l-glutamine, based

on my own experience -

Jarrow is definitely the best!

I usually mix my glutamine powder with orange juice, although I have

mixed it with other things. Over the past four years I have tried

several brands including OSMO, NOW, MRM, Cambridge Nutraceuticals.

I recently purchased one kilo of the Jarrow brand from the Boston

Buyer's Club. It is very white and very light. It seems to be

fluffier than the other brands. It stirs into liquids very well!

After I stir it into my OJ it doesn't settle to the bottom as much as

the other brands.

NOTE - This review is only intended as a commentary on the look,

texture, and mixability of L-Glutamine. I realize that the most

important thing is potency and purity, but I'm not a chemist so I

can't comment on that. They all claim to be 100% pure -- and I hope

they are.

As a maintenance dose, I think about 5 grams a day is enough. That will

help enterocyte turnover and intestinal function (particularly by helping

the hair-like villi from becoming stunted, thus allowing improved nutrient

absorption).

Higher doses, 20-40 grams, may help to offset PI-induced diarrhea (of

course, always assure an accurate diagnosis for diarrhea). There are some

data to support this in regard to nelfinavir-related diarrhea.
