Customer Reviews

Excellent Product
This has to be the best L-Glutamine on the market! I feel it's effects immediately after taking it. Source Naturals L-Glutamine is more potent (pure) than Vitamin Shoppe's L-Glutamine (I tried them both). This product not only helps out with my muscles, but it also calms me down as L-Glutamine works as a natural tranquilizer.

Seems legit enough
This product seems to be a good product for the price. I have maintained muscle mass very well using this powder. I like the packaging and size as I use this everyday for weight loss(fat not muscle).

Noticed an immediate weight gain
I lift weights five days a week and drink tons of whey protein and yet I've had problems gaining significant amounts of muscle mass. This is probably due to lack of sleep and proper nutrition necessary for hypertrophy. The second I started taking this product I started gaining. In just two weeks I packed on eight pounds! None of it fat!

On the down side it added a funny chemical taste to my shake. The taste went away when I doubled the amount of milk though. This is what I take:

2 servings ( 60 grams) whey protein
2 servings (16 fl. oz.) skim milk
3 grams l-glutamine
1 gram Phosphatidyl serine
1/2 gram GABA

(1/4 teaspoon is approx. one gram)

That's one shake and I take it four times a day. Once in the morning, immediately following a workout, one hour after post-workout, and the last shake in the evening. I also take one gram of beta-alanine and one gram of creatine an hour before exercise. I take a 1200 mg omega 3 capsule (x2 a day), 2000 IU vitamin d, and one vitamin b complex pill.

If anyone decides to try my recipe remember to drink plenty of water afterwards. All that protein will give you heartburn.
