I had my doubts about this controlling my intense sugar craves. I take one in the morning and sometimes one at night. It's works! Right now, there are red velvet cupcakes in the break room and I haven't even been tempted. Usually, I would have eaten 4-6 of them. What can I say- I LOVE CAKE. Warning- doesn't work over night- you will see results after a week of taking them faithfully. I have recommended these to my family
Read More...My husband takes these for "leaky gut." He used to get choked on his food a lot because it would get stuck in his esophagus. He has been taking this for months and now he almost never gets choked on food. And this is the only thing he has changed/added to his daily regime
Read More...Glutamine almost killed me. Sounds over dramatic right? Well it happened. Here is what transpired over two days of using the product. First let me preface this post. This in no way is a reflection on the seller. The product was priced well and delivery was prompt. However, glutamine can be in rare cases; dangerous and even deadly. There are two situations that can lead to toxicity in the body. First if you have liver issues, the ammonia that is produced from glutamine can poison the blood stream and cause allergic reactions, up to seizures, comma, and death. Another way glutamine is dangerous is from too much of the glutamine converting to glutamate. This can lead to neurotoxicity and is where I ran into trouble. I took 2 grams the first day after working out. I do olympic lifting, so the workouts are very taxing on the body. I noticed initially that I felt good after consuming the product, however a few hours later I developed a scratchy throat and had a little trouble swallowing. It wasn't bad so I assumed my immunity was down after working out. The next day I decided to take a gram since I wouldn't be going to the gym. I felt fine for about three hours. I was sitting on the beach with family when My heart started beating really fast and my body temperature shot up. I wasn't in the sun at all that day. NextI became dizzy and felt like a seizure was coming on. After that my throat began to close up and I had difficulty breathing and swallowing. I ended up going to the hospital and was treated. However I was not "right" for about three days after, I just felt off. So, while most people will be fine on glutamine, there are scholarly articles that warn against using glutamine for long periods or if you have certain conditions. Even oxidative stress can trigger neurotoxicity according to one study. So take care and start with small doses or even better use this under the care of a physician
Read More...I take 2 pills prior to my workout and 2 more immediately after lunch. I feel like this product really help my workout and more importantly it takes the sweets craving away. Over the past few months, I have dramatically reduce the amount of chocolates and ice cream I used to crave immediately after a meal
Read More...Great for muscle recovery. I bought them for my boyfriend who was really getting sore after the gym . He loves them ! He takes the every single day even on his days off just to help him recover and he's has been doing much better at the gym with less complaining at home
Read More...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)
Read More...I bought this after watching an 18 hour health webinar... One of the doctors recommended placing 1000mg under your tongue to beat alcohol addition... I don't have an alcohol addition but I did smoke, so I thought I'd give it a try... Even though they're locked, separating the capsule halves was easy... It's been six hours and not only have I not had a cigarette, I don't want one... I smoked a pack and a half a day up until now... Reader, if you know someone with an addiction you should have them try this... It may work for them!!
Read More...After the birth of my son I started having painful intestinal attacks. I mean horrible, awful, send you to the E.R. painful kind of attacks. After about a year and half of bouncing from doctor to doctor and having probes put EVERYWHERE my doctor informed me that I had I.B.S. and was suffering from colon spasms. He prescibed me an anti-spasmodic medication and sent me on my way.Well, the problem was, I had to take the pill after an attack started to happen and it took about 15 minutes to kick in. Which was pointless, as by that time the attack would be over. I turned to apple cider vinegar which has a natural relaxant in it instead which has been amazing for me. I start to have an attack. drink some apple cider vinegar and then about two minutes later the attack stops! Anyways, I ordered this supplement because I am starting to work out again. I took this supplement when I was younger and remember loving the results for after working out. I have been taking them for almost two weeks in the morning when I wake, and right before bed. Yesterday I was doing some reading on the benifits of Glutamine and read that it's a huge help for people with IBS and general digestive disfunction. It was then that I realized I haven't had a SINGLE attack since I started taking them!!! This is so incredibly HUGE for me! I generally have at LEAST three attacks a week!!!! I cant tell you how amazed I am that this little bottle, that cost under 10 dollars was able to do SO MUCH FOR ME! I will buy this product for the rest of my life! If you suffer from intestinal problems I cannot recommend this enough! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Read More...I used this product for about 8 months and saw a big difference in my gut problems. More doctors should recommend glutamine for leaky gut and other intestinal problems. I had abdominal pain, probably leaky gut, mucous, severe heartburn, and suspected SIBO. I noticed improvements soon after starting this product, taking 2 capsules at each meal, later tapering to less than that, until I felt healed and stopped it. I refused to use doctor recommended proton pump inhibitor products for the heartburn. Instead I used prescription carafate, this brand of glutamine, charcoal as needed and IBGard, with a healthy diet of well cooked vegetables, gluten free and low acid foods. I am now back to pretty normal eating and can tolerate gluten again. If this can help others suffering with gut issues I am glad to have helped! Give it a try! So much easier than the glutamine powder drinks and the bone broth
Read More...This capsule are great, I have ulcer and I was always in pain or bloat it. Since I am taking glutamine capsule I don't have heartburn, or feel like burping all the time which is embarrassing. It really make a great difference in just a week so I am planning to keep taking this capsule for many more years
