L-Glutamine Muscle Recovery Powder, 2.21 LB

I’ve been using this glutamine supplement after workouts, and I’m very satisfied with the results. The powder mixes easily with water or protein shakes and has no strong taste. It helps support my recovery after intense training sessions, and I feel less muscle soreness the next day. The quality is excellent, and the container provides a good value for the price. If you’re looking for a simple and effective glutamine supplement to add to your fitness routine, this is a great choice.

Great product, also Came ON-TIME!

Bought this kilogram of L-glutamine powder from optimum nutrition to help with muscle growth, endurance, and gut healing protocol. The focus was total body health. If you don't have your health, you have nothing. The powder was excellent quality, dissolved into drinks, no discernible taste, easy to measure, lasted a long time and fit under my cabinet countertop.

I like Optimum Nutrition and you will probably see a review on a lot of thier products I have picked up. They have a great product at a great price with no BS junk added or hard to read labels. I picked up the Glutamine powder when I was trying to make my own post work out drinks or adding this to my protien powder. I have stopped drinking protien shakes and I have picked up a post work out drink. So now I add this to the post workout drink for MORE Glutamine or add to some OJ. I actually add a spoon full to my morning OJ every morning. I read somewhere that Glutamine also helps with boosting your immune system. I have mixed this with juice, post work out drinks and protien shakes..I have not tasted any difference in any of these drinks because of this powder. Mixes very well, the colder the liquid the more you need to mix it but still mixes very well. Some info from the Optimum Nutrition website: Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and greater than 20% of total circulating amino acids. Because L-Glutamine may support muscle recovery from exercise, each serving of our Glutamine Powder provides 5 grams of pure L-Glutamine, and because it's unflavored, you can mix it right into your post-workout protein shake. Made with Pure L-Glutamine Unflavored Versatility Add to Protein & MRP Shakes Mixes Easily with a Spoon Wide Variety of Available Sizes Supports Muscle Recovery Efforts

Heyy, I have been working out for some time now and int he past would mostly supplement my workouts naturally (eggs, milk, cottage cheese etc). However, whenever i would hit the gym with a vengeance the next day would go KABOOM on me.. zombieing around the town with my work getting affected. Essentially, the recovery from workouts was a real point of concern for me. Finally picked up the ON L-Glutamine (1 KG) along with BCAA's and gold standard whey protein (again by ON). Now, i have used ON whey in the past as a standalone supplement and i did see some muscle tone improvement through it but with the combination of Glutamine and BCAA's to it things have been great. First Impressions -- You open the box and that smell damped my spirits in 1 go. Feels as if it was injected with the sewer fragrance (if you can call it that) :D . Jokes apart, mixes in water well although a bit of grit is left in the cup once you drink it (add some more water, shake and it all gets washed down the throat). taste is fairly decent (manageable). Observations -- I have been taking it for more then a month now (early morning and before bedtime). the bowel movement is definitely impacted for one and becomes better for sure. My muscle tone and definition has improved quite a bit and recovery is awesome (although the BCAA's and whey would have some role in that too). Body immunity has somehow been impacted for the worse which is surprising (have a cold for almost 2-3 weeks now, very mild though). Additionally, i have started feeling hungry like crazy (earlier, could go on without food for 12 hrs or more (not good i know) without any issues but now the stomach is like a kitchen on fire asking for more fuel every 2 hours). All in all the effects have been beneficial for me and i would continue this for some time for now. Grievances -- powder Smell.. impact on immunity (not sure of the reason though since glutamine improves immunity as far as i know). I checked that brands like NOW FOODS and BULK SUPPLEMENTS offer cheaper L-glutamine as against ON but then their authenticity is a matter of concern for me and hence i would want to stick to ON for the time to come.

I've used Glutamine off and on for years, mainly off, because it is really pretty expensive. However, I decided to pick up a small bottle from a local supplement store to give another try. Here is my dosing and experience: My stack is as follows: 4 Arginine (2 Grams) and 1.5 scoops N.O. Explode (Non-Caffeinated) 1-1.25 hours pre workout 20 grams glutamine with 3 scoops ON Amino Energy 30 minutes pre workout. This is a recently discovered God send of a stack. I increase in weight every week at a minimum of 5%, and up to 20% (The larger increase comes from the deadlift. Started at 180 and within 2 weeks was up to 240. Its been awhile since I've done them, so i needed my back to get used to it). This week alone my Deadlift increased 40 pounds (My legs are strong enough, my back isn't used to moving that kind of weight just yet). That's a 15%+ increase! Its the same for all my lifts. It sounds great, right? Well, here's the problem. When your body isn't used to constantly increasing weight, you tend to get pretty sore. That's where the magic of Glutamine comes in, well, one of the two pieces of magik anyway. The most notable is that you will either not be sore at all, or have just a trace of soreness. This allows you to lift heavier, which means increased strength and increased muscle mass. Epic. The second great part about glutamine is that if taken at 20-25 grams (Some people apparently get an upset stomach when they take this much. I've never had a problem), you will notice increased strength, compared to if you don't use it. Hooray! And, seeing how I am a vegetarian, supplementing is important since I don't eat meat. Therefore, my Glutmaine levels are lower than most people. Should you buy Glutamine? Well, I suppose that depends on your goals. Are you lifting to train? Or are you just lifting for maintenance? If for the latter, I would honestly say skip it, and maybe try Taurine and Beta-Alanine instead. But if you are training (And by training, I mean pouring every ounce of energy into every single set and pushing yourself as hard as you can, and then some), then I would say you would likely see a benefit. I know I do. And the way I see it, if you aren't ever getting sore, you're doing it wrong. (Coming from 10 years of fitness experience, and former personal trainer certification)

About ten years ago I was heavy into bodybuilding. Supplementing with l-glutamine was a staple of my supplement regimen. The last five years have been pretty void of fitness goals and intense workouts as I settled into married life and have a baby on the way. Three months ago I began training again to regain control of my body and life. I have been working out only using a natural food diet and no supplements. Results were coming much more slow than I remember in the past and my workout recovery was taking much longer. I decided to purchase a small bottle of l-glutamine from my local heath store to see if it would add any value. Within three days my post-workout soreness drastically diminished and my recovery time shortened. That's when I purchased a container of Optimum Nutrition l-glutamine from Amazon. The price here beats any local health store and Optimum's quality is superb. I will definitely be buying this product again.

Very good quality

Great product for sure. I saw my muscles retain their pump after a workout and the fact that it is unflavoured I love it. I mix it with Mio and stuff it's great :) I will be buying again and you should too!

ممتاز

Wonderful product, if anyone has gut related issues, must use.

Mixes well and there isn't much odor or funky taste. Does not come with a portioning spoon which is disappointing.
