Sports Nutrition, L-Glutamine Pure Powder, Nitrogen Transporter*, Amino Acid, 1-Pound

The role of L-glutamine in the gut is diverse. Perhaps the most important, glutamine can be digested directly by the gut. For those of you concerned with leaky gut, it plays an important role in restoring/maintaining gut function. Furthermore glutamine is the precursor to glutathione which is the master enzyme which regenerates all of your stress enzymes. The problem is in times of high stress or trauma your body's consumption of glutamine will greatly exceed any typical supply. Which is why for almost any gut related condition, doctors and other authorities recommend 2 to 3 gm of glutamine daily. The protocol given to me by my new doctor of functional medicine. I saw her about three weeks ago about a gut condition which may be Candida and leaky gut. Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic which fights gut inflammation . I used Jarrow's S. boulardii . PGX is a form of glucomannan which has been specially processed so fiber quality is preserved. Take 3x per day. About 3 gm of glutamine daily. I prefer to dissolve in about 2 cups of water and I take it to bed with me . When I wake up in the middle of the night that's when I'll drink it all. It is best taken on an empty stomach. When my stomach was at its worst, I would often just double up on this dose of glutamine. However, don't do this regularly. Glutamine is involved in the production of GABA and changing your GABA levels can alter your mood. I did notice a lessening in the pain the very next day when I doubled up on the glutamine. Bob's Red Mill unmodified potato starch is a resistant starch. Resistant starches resist digestion, they are broken down by your probiotics and they do not raise your glucose level. Resistant starches feed your gut directly and they are anti-inflammatory. Dissolve 1 tablespoon in water, take up to three times daily. Collagen:Your gut needs collagen to heal.You can get collagen by either drinking bone broth or by taking collagen supplements. Vitamins: the truth is you need all your vitamins if you want to heal from a major trauma. so you need a good multivitamin . The problem is most of the vitamins out there, centrum, one-a-day are lousy vitamins. they just aren't bioavailable. Getting a good multivitamin is fairly tricky many vitamins cannot be absorbed unless they are present in absolutely the correct ratio whereas others will completely block the absorption of one or another vitamin or mineral. Just make sure you get enough magnesium and zinc. The two most important minerals and they are fairly bio-unavailable in most forms. You need to research this carefully. Initiate protein synthesis: healing is by definition the production of new proteins to replace that which is broken or missing. You need to eat 30 g of proteins in one sitting in order to initiate protein synthesis. Nutritionists recommend doing this at least three times per day if you are trying to recover from major trauma or medical condition. 30 g of protein is rather a large amount. Five large eggs contains 30 g of protein. I have difficulty eating such large amounts in one sitting, therefore I tend to take all the protein I would normally eat in one day and concentrated into a meal. I eat all my other foods veggies etc. at other meals. Support for broken digestion: Symptoms include gas, bloating , diarrhea, stomachache /heartburn , gut cramps and GERD. HCl Digestive enzymes You want to use the HCl and the digestive enzymes under the supervision of a doctor. If it turns out that you don't need it you could end up burning a hole in your stomach. I had actually been using a variant of this protocol for almost a year with some limited success . But after I switched to the doctor's version, after three weeks my digestion seemed almost normal. What were my mistakes? You need to take the glutamine on an empty stomach. I've been taking it during the day but apparently my stomach wasn't nearly empty enough. I was using very crappy fiber. Metamucil is not good stuff. Bad fiber will feed your probiotics, yes, but it will also feed other less desirable organisms in your gut. The difference between the Metamucil and PGX is a universe apart. I was using too many probiotics. Yes too many probiotics. It turns out Saccharomyces boulardii is the correct probiotic to use if you want to heal gut inflammation. All the other probiotics I was taking were just competing for a very limited resource (the fiber) and apparently they outnumbered the Saccharomyces and it never really took off. That was it. Update: My gut seems mostly healed up using this protocol. Recently, I added N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) to my line up. NAC is used primarily to support glutathione (this is the master stress enzyme that controls regeneration of all your other antioxidant/stress enzymes). I noticed I seemed to recover better from stress when I remember to take glutamate. In fact, I lost about 1.5 inches from my waistline but didn't lose any weight. This could only happen if my stress levels drop and my metabolism stopped depositing fat preferentially at the waist (stress belly).. Then when I ran out of glutamate, the waistline started to creep up again. It's starting to drop again now that I've gotten my next bottle. The protocol to support glutathione: Supplement with n-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) Supplement with glutamate Supplement with magnesium glycinate (magnesium tends to be depleted if you're under stress. The glycinate is required to make gluthionione)

I started having stomach problems about 3 years ago. Every morning I would wake up and feel nauseated and always have to have a bowel movement at least 3 times before I even left work. Slowly over time, I figured out that I was experiencing a form of IBS. So I started trying different remedies and treatments I found online to treat what I had. I tried: Gluten Free Peppermint Oil Kombucha & Asparagus Extract Cutting Out Chewing Gum Eliminating Dairy Juice Fast Aloe Vera Extract No Nicotine Cutting Energy Drinks Starving Myself Apple Cider Vinegar Allergy Medicine After 3 years I pretty much figured I'd have to live with the cramps all day and the constant need to go to the bathroom. I found an article from a forum from a woman that said she had cured her IBS and several people's IBS that she knew by using: 10-30 Grams L-Glutamine 15 Million Count Probiotics I bought Now Foods Glutamine, and probiotics here on Amazon called "Pro-15" I drank 15 grams of Glutamine, twice a day. And took 2 capsules of the Pro-15 probiotics. I started to see results within the first day. Slowly over the course of 2 weeks I felt completely healed. It's now been 2 months and I can safely say that I am cured. I'm starting to remember what it's like to have a normal digestive system again. I only have one bowel movement a day and I never have to rush to the bathroom, no matter WHAT I eat. I'm still in disbelief that I'm actually normal again. I have my life back. I can finally go on trips, go out with friends, make plans to leave the house first thing when I wake up, and all without having to worry about whether or not there will be a bathroom nearby. I just want to say thank you to Now Foods for making a high quality Glutamine source. It literally changed my life

I like this glutamine. Very high purity and good quality, especially compared to budget brands like Nutricost. There used to be a glutamine from Deal Supplements that was also budget-friendly, and it was actually really good — noticeably better than Nutricost. But they discontinued it. NOW is my current favorite. It costs more unless you catch a discount, but the quality is very good. If price isn’t an issue, it’s an excellent choice.

I mix this in with my protein powder every time I mix my shakes. It's become an essential part of my stack. I split the amount I want to consume daily between my shakes (i usually drink 3 at different parts of the day, morning, post workout, before bed). It mixes well with the protein powder I use (I use a normal shaker bottle), it doesn't vary the taste of the protein powder to the point where it's really noticeable. The other day I actually accidentally forgot to put protein powder in the shaker bottle and mixed this with some unsweetened almond milk, took a sip, obviously realized right away that i forgot the protein, but it wasn't a bad flavor, just tasted like unsweetened milk. This product is a good price for what you're buying as well. I'm really big on finding the best value for my hard earned dollar, without sacrificing quality, and this product was it. I plan on buying this again when I run out, this product typically tends to be the best priced one out there, so i'm hoping to maybe find a bigger container next time and save a little more $. The only reason I didn't go ahead and do that this time around is because I wanted to try this product out first, I'm not disappointed by any means. I would recommend this product to anyone considering adding this to their stack, it's worth it in more ways than what i've said above, supplement wise, it was a great choice to add to my stack and something I will continue to use.

This was recommended to me by a nurse practitioner to heal my gut after a bad reaction to medication. It is easy to use, dissolves well, no unpleasant taste. It’s even ok in plain water. I get quick relief from abdominal discomfort.

It works and reduces my craving of sugars. I just take a bit on a teaspoon. Dissolves immediately and has no taste or smell.

Full disclosure -- I waited until I finished my first pound of this stuff before writing a review, because I didn't want to fall victim to the placebo effect and mislead people. I've suffered with IBS symptoms for the past 20 years. Usually mine manifests with terrible constipation in the evenings, loose stools in the mornings, and gut pain that worsens at night. Sometimes it can feel like someone is stabbing an ice pick into my colon, and when it gets really bad it can spread to my upper GI and even impact my Liver and Gallbladder health -- resulting in pain on my right side. This pain has caused me to have sleepless nights on and off for 20 years, and usually prevents me from laying comfortably in my bed at night at all. Sometimes my lower GI feels really hot, as if there is an infection or chronic inflammation down there. Long story short, I started taking this product twice daily (1 tea spoon each time) in water and began seeing relief within about 2-3 days. By the end of the first week my pain was almost completely gone. By two weeks, I feel almost completely normal now. I've even tested myself out by eating goods that might have caused me digestive distress in the past like peanut butter, milk, beer, etc -- and my crippling pain has not returned. Feels almost too good to be true, and as someone who has literally tried everything under the sun from apple cider vinegar to probotics to tummy tamer mint teas, etc -- all short-term results -- I'm skeptical that this can last indefinitely, but resolve to report back after a more extended period of time. Why more doctors aren't recommending this stuff to their patients, I have no idea? When I ordered this, I had literally visited my doctor the day before and he just shrugged at my gut pain and said "I wish we understood more about that stuff" -- then I Googled "Supplements for IBS" and found a new study that showed that most people who take this stuff for 8 weeks reported a 50 point decline in their IBS pain. That's a pretty major study, and something more doctors should be aware of! Long story short, if you're suffering from IBS pain like mine -- give this stuff a try. Make sure you stay on it for an entire pound before you gauge results, as it can take some people longer than others to see results. Good luck!

Great product for GI issues and inexpensive price.
