BulkSupplements L-Glutamine Powder For Muscle Recovery And Gut Health Unflavored And Gluten Free 5000 Milligrams Per Serving 1 Kilogram

My initial challenge in medicine was to help HIV patients survive before we had any antiviral medications. I report that we not only made them live beyond the HIV death sentence, in all cases we converted patients into champion athletes. From this we learned a great deal of science that enhances quality of life and extends life.Early on in desperation we set up double-blind studies. We tested absolutely every single nutrient and drug that had any positive claim: from lemon leaf with olive oil to homeopathy! In the end, we learned WHAT REALLY WORKS and what did not!One of the most amazing discoveries was the value of Glutamine - Which is part of a general detoxification reaction studied in human biochemistry. The results were so astonishing the local hospitals created liver detox clinics that used nothing more than glutamine and alpha lipoic acid.Glutamine is the major constituent of the immune system; main biochemical of the GI tract; a main biochemical constituent for the building, break-down & modification of amino acids (proteins or the building blocks of the body); is the only chemical that can detox your body of nitrogen, ammonia & Uric acid compounds, and thus used to cleanse the liver & kidneys. It is also used as biochemical in brain. That's a hellavua lot!In addition to detoxifying your body of ammonia & balancing pH, the liver & kidneys must dispose of an enormous array of pharmaceutical and environmental chemicals. Of the numerous remedies, medicinal agents, chemicals, and herbal remedies in existence, more than 600 are recognized as being capable of bringing grave harm to the liver and kidneys. HIV patients often presented with a co-infection of hepatotoxic Hepatitis C. Hepatitis along with an astonishing pharmacological regimen, (often 40 to 60 pills a day), presented us with a real challenge. The solution, Glutamine, alpha-lipoic acid and silymarian, was so effective, local hospitals used the same to open so-called 'liver clinics' at great profit!Glutamine also serves as the main source of energy for the mucosal cells of the small intestine! Therefore, glutamine also helps greatly in the digestion of food. Without it, your small intestines would be in real trouble! The cells of the GI tract use glutamine to create the energy they need to function, to protect the body from foreign invaders, and to modulate the size of the pores or "leakiness" of the intestines thereby allowing food into the bloodstream.In addition to supplying energy for intestinal epithelial cells, glutamine stimulates the proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells [1] . Studies demonstrated that glutamine decreased bacterial translocation and stimulated IgA mucosal secretion [2,3] , ; and initiates anti-inflammatory effects [4] .You'll note the connection between immunity and GI tract. Around the GI tract are wandering immune cells always patrolling for foreign invaders in a potentially hostile environment. In fact, 70% of your immunity surrounds the GI tract - Thus, any GI tract troubles eventually become immune system problems! And immune system problems can destroy the body! Glutamine protects the body from assaults in the GI tract. Assaults to the immune system through the GI tract include: GMO foods (GMO foods were manufactured by adding the foreign DNA of bacteria, viruses and fungus), and pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungus, protozoa like cryptosporidium, and parasites)! If the Glutamine storage in your GI tract gets low, you won't be very well protected from pathogens, you will have difficulty digesting nutrients, and can develop 'leaky gut syndrome'. Collectively these events conspire to ramp up autoimmune disorders! In other words, without enough Glutamine, your body can't prevent food allergies or fight illness!One of the most serious side-effects of HIV infection is diarrhea. We found that Glutamine supplementation is the most effective treatment for diarrhea on the planet - AND WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECTS associated with medications like Imodium!Immune cells also participate in the production of hormones and even participate in neurotransmitter communication with the brain. A challenged immune system causes diabetes, (types 1 and 2), chronic pain, anxiety and depression. Poor immunity leads to hormonal imbalance and mental disease. Glutamine not only makes up a significant part of immunity, it is a major excitatory neurotransmitter of the brain![1] Bamba T, Kanauchi O, Andoh A, Fujiyama Y.

I have used other BulkSupplements products and they are wonderful so I expected nothing less from them. However when I did receive this particular product I had a issue with it. They were also nice enough to allow me to review one of their other products free of charge for another honest product review. I did some research and found the reason for this product going bad was due to being exposed to excessive heat weather in the production or the transportation of it. In conclusion BulkSupplements strive to make a quality product and have a solid relationship with its customers I will continue to order from them in the future. I will also be posting my honest/ un-biased reviews about other products that I have tried weather I paid for them for receive them. So about this product it works great its not some miracle product that will transform you over night but it does seem to help with soreness the following day. I'm a 25 year bodybuilder/ powerlifter I don't compete I just do it because I love to stay healthy and active. I do take a slightly higher then the recommended dose due to my size and my body needing more. I would have gave this product a 5 star but due to the issue I had the first time I received it.

L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid for any serious lifter. I discovered glutamine powder after searching for something to offer quicker muscle recovery and reduced soreness. I began a regimen of 5000 mg of glutamine twice a day after reading recommendations from supplement companies. I take my first dose of glutamine in my post-workout protein shake. The taste is unnoticeable. I take my second dose of glutamine in about 12 ounces of water about an hour before I go to bed. When mixed with water, glutamine has a somewhat odd, maybe bitter, taste. I don't find it to be objectionable enough that I need to add it to anything flavored, however. Glutamine powder does not dissolve in water, so I swish it around in the glass to make sure I get all of it.BulkSupplements' L-Glutamine powder seems to be of excellent quality and is far finer in consistency than glutamine I have purchased from other manufacturers. The taste is the same, but I definitely tend to prefer the finer consistency as it goes down easier and doesn't have the gritty sand like texture that you end up chewing on later. My only minor complaint is that the resealable bag was pretty difficult to get resealed the first time. To allay this issue, I poured the kilogram of glutamine powder into a glass storage jar,Anchor Hocking Montana Storage Jar, Glass, 48-Ounce. It fits perfectly.As for the absence of a scoop, I did some trial and error. I had an extra 11 CC scoop from a pre-workout supplement I used to take. I found that a nearly full 11 CC scoop came out to almost exactly 5000 mg, which I checked using a highly sensitive scale. I suspect a 10 CC scoop would be just about perfect if you have one.All in all, I can't recommend BulkSupplements L-Glutamine powder enough if you are a serious lifter looking to increase muscle recovery so you can keep on lifting harder the next day. That's what it's all about, right?

I'm going to give this five star. The company gives quality products for reasonable prices. I have only just started taking the Bulk glutamine brand, however, I've taken glutamine in the past and felt tremendous improvement with IBS/leaky bowel. One reason it works in intestinal repair because of being an essential nutrient, the most abundant amino acid in the body. Not my words, but the medical field.Quoting Dr. Axe, "L-glutamine benefits your health if you have any type of digestive issue, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), an inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, leaky gut or any of the issues associated with leaky gut, then you need this amino acid in your diet on a regular basis."It's tasteless and can be added to any liquid. Put it in your morning coffee, just a full quarter teaspoon, is all that is required. If once a day is all you can conveniently remember, it will still benefit you. It recommends up to three times a day. It's perfectly safe to take, unlike medications. The smallest package, which is what I purchased, will last for a very long time, 2.2 pounds. According to the GAPS diet publication by Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride, all disease/illness begins in the gut and we all are compromised because of the SAD. I highly recommend investigating her book. Socrates also claimed illness begins in the gut. Further information on this and additional benefits can be found on the web by searching "Dr. Axe....L-Glutamine Benefits Leaky gut". L-glutamine is recommended by many professionals for healing the gut and many other health issues. I hope these few thoughts may help someone find answers for their health concerns.

I've been using this brand for years. It's so affordable and I typically have it on automatically delivery for multiple supplements. I recommend it almost every week to someone. It does wonders for muscle aches after a long day of work or working out! And it is tasteless as well as mixes in extremely easy.
