My preferred Glutamine choice., October 22, 2009
By bablondie25 from Seattle area

"I have tried the powder and it is not bad, but I really hate trying to get it down. This is a large pill, I can just pop 1 to 3 per day for my stomach lining (prescribed by my Naturopath). I also notice less soreness when I workout. I take mostly during the day or afternoon since it causes a slight boost in energy."

L-Glutamine, May 24, 2009
By racinggirl82 from Wurtsboro, NY

"I really like this companie's L-Glutamine tablets because it's helpful for someone like me who has a poor Glucose metabolism. (L-Glutamine converts into Glucose). This makes it difficult to think or focus on a daily basis. It's also the dosage I like, which is hard to find at other places."

Odd effects, February 20, 2009
By cindyjp925

"I took these for about 3 days, then stopped. Tried again a few days later with same results. For some reason they feel like unbuffered aspirin when they are going down. Get a burning sensation in my esophagus and stomach, just like aspirin. Tried Source Naturals brand instead and am having better results with that."

"It is a puzzle to fit together the components that most effectively address the body's needs. Glutamine has a unique place in feeding my muscles and aiding in healing and muscle recovery. For my work, my body is under continual duress, for which the glutamine is helpful, and I find other forms of stress impact my body and muscles. I have found that glutamine is especially effective used in combination with systemic enzymes (anti-inflamtory enzymes). It's inexpensive, which is refreshing, and the Jarrow Formulas seems to be of particularly good quality."

"This is an excellent product...in fact a lifesaver for me. I started taking this to improve my memory, which seemed to be decreasing either to stress or aging. Now, I don't miss a day. This product helps to control my food cravings and improves mental clarity and recall. The tablets are easy to swallow and have no bad taste. This product was recommended to me by a friend and I have recommended it to many others."
