Optimum Nutrition L-Glutamine Muscle Recovery Capsules, 1000mg, 240 Count (Package May Vary)

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'm extremely impressed with Optimum Nutrition's L-Glutamine Muscle Recovery Capsules. As someone who works out regularly and pushes myself hard, I've been on the lookout for a high-quality supplement to aid in muscle recovery, and this product definitely fits the bill. I love that each capsule contains a potent 1000mg of L-Glutamine, which has been shown to be one of the most effective amino acids for muscle recovery and growth. Since starting to take these capsules, I've noticed a significant decrease in muscle soreness and fatigue, which has allowed me to push myself harder in the gym and see better results. One of the things I appreciate most about this product is the fact that it's made by Optimum Nutrition, a company that's known for its high-quality supplements and commitment to transparency in their manufacturing processes. I also love that the capsules are easy to swallow and don't leave a bad aftertaste like some other supplements I've tried. Overall, I highly recommend Optimum Nutrition L-Glutamine Muscle Recovery Capsules to anyone looking for a high-quality supplement to aid in muscle recovery and growth. It's an effective and affordable product from a trusted brand that's definitely worth trying.

It's been a good product for me already, especially now that I am over 6 decades old. It wasn't long ago that this fact literally slapped me in the face of realization and I decided to start fighting back against age in the best way I knew how, which means a lot more gym time when I can get it. I decided to change my weight lifting routine to fit more of my desired results and age.....rather than lifting heavy weights with just a few sets and reps to produce mass and raw strength as I did when I was younger, I decided to go with a routine of lighter weights with an increased amount of reps and sets to help with muscle tone and balance and, of course, to burn more calories and fat to combat a natural slowing of my metabolism. It's seem to have worked out better, but I believe that it tears the muscles down more to exercise like this and the recovery time was admittedly a bit long @ first. This is just one of the ways where this product comes in handy. Glutamine is supposedly the most abundant amino acid in the body and rather than buying a good BCAA product, I decided to get this and combine it with a good Isolate Whey protein powder and a good dose of Creatine before and after exercising. This regime has already helped to cut the recovery time down to virtually nothing for me, even though I've increased my weight limits by 10% to 20% depending on the particular exercise. Granted, I still hurt a bit the morning after but I don't think that I would be making progress without that being the case....that's just the nature of weight lifting. But instead of days of down time to recover, this particular combination of supplements has decreased it to about 1 - 1.5 days and then I'm good to go again. It just seems to me that when you tear your muscles down by lifting, then they just get hungry and you have to FEED them with what they need most and, for me, this product is exactly that. Good product in my opinion and damn good Seller.

We have this on a subscription so it's delivered automatically but in this last order 1/3 of the capsules were stuck together in the middle of the bottle making them unusable, however, usually, these are great. Several capsules were broken and the powder was all over the other capsules and the inside of the bottle. I held the bottle up which you can see in the photo with the capsules stuck in the neck of the bottle in a clump. This was the first time we received a bottle like this so I sent a message to the company to let them know. We haven't had any problems before and we are really happy with Optimum Nutrition's L-Glutamine. We have found the product to be consistently good quality, good with muscle soreness. Helps with digestion and gut health so far.

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

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)

Very good quality

I love it, essential to faster recovery and helps control sugar cravings. A must for anyone that works out. Highly recommended. ---------------------------------- OVERVIEW ---------------------------------- Glutamine is a staple in my supplemental regimen. There are numerous benefits backed by science. It is relatively an inexpensive supplement that should be a part of nearly everyone's supplement protocol. Glutamine is an amino acid (a building block for proteins), found naturally in the body. Glutamine is used to counter some of the side effects of medical treatments. For example, it is used for side effects of cancerchemotherapy including diarrhea, pain and swelling inside the mouth (mucositis), nerve pain (neuropathy), and muscle and joint pains caused by the cancer drug Taxol. Glutamine is also used to protect the immune system and digestive system in people undergoing radiochemotherapy for cancer of the esophagus. Additionally, glutamine is used for improving recovery after bone marrow transplant or bowel surgery, increasing well-being in people who have suffered traumatic injuries, and preventing infections in critically ill people. Some people use glutamine for digestive system conditions such as stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. It is also used for depression, moodiness, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, and enhancing exercise performance. ---------------------------------- HOW DOES IT WORK? ---------------------------------- Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Glutamine is produced in the muscles and is distributed by the blood to the organs that need it. Glutamine might help gut function, the immune system, and other essential processes in the body, especially in times of stress. It is also important for providing "fuel" (nitrogen and carbon) to many different cells in the body. Glutamine is needed to make other chemicals in the body such as other amino acids and glucose (sugar).
