I have used several brands of L-glutamine. I like this one because I can buy it in bulk at a cost savings. It contains 2 gm of L-glutamine per 1/2 teaspoon.This L-glutamine powder is easily mixed with water and has a pleasant taste. It can be taken with other supplements, and is best taken on an empty stomach to derive the most "bang for your buck."L-glutamine is a supplement popular with athletes to improve their performance and bodybuilders to increase muscle mass. At the other end of the health spectrum, it is taken by people who wish to heal their bodies of disease or prevent it.I personally take 6 gm per day on an empty stomach. I take it to promote digestive health, to maintain muscle mass (which all of us lose as we age), and as a prevention for cancer.Bodybuilders and athletes often take up to 15 gm per day of L-glutamine. For maximum benefits, exercise nutritionists recommend consuming 5 gm, 1 to 3 times per day, before workout, after workout, and before bed.For digestive issues (such as IBS), the protocol is: 1-3 times per day, take 3-5 gm of L-glutamine (on an empty stomach) along with high-potency probiotics (on an empty stomach), digestive enzymes (with meals) and enteric-coated peppermint capsules (on an empty stomach).L-glutamine is frequently utilized as part of a nutraceutical protocol to prevent and/or heal cancer. Recommended dosage for cancer issues is 5-15 gm per day. Cancer cells devour all the supplies of L-glutamine in the body, to the point that they deplete the supply of L-glutamine that is essential to the survival of healthy cells in the body. In particular, when levels of L-glutamine become very low in the body, levels of glutathione fall in our natural killer cells, decreasing their ability to defend healthy cells from cancer cells. More than 90% of the body’s L-glutamine supply resides in muscles. When this is depleted, it creates a dangerously negative nitrogen balance. There is strong scientific evidence that this depletion is tied to the common occurrence in cancer patients of cachexia (wasting of the body due to malnutrition). Supplementing with L-glutamine can help prevent this. This is a crucial discovery, because about one-third of cancer patients die from cachexia. L-glutamine also helps lower the immune-destroying effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Read more

holy crap! i feel like this put my years-long crohn's disease flair into remission in a month. im not sure what else could have done it, as i didnt really change anything else.my faecal calprotectin levels have been above 1000 for years now. my latest doctor says they dont even measure over 1000, they just say ">1000", but i previously test had me at 1400+. normal range is below 150.i also broke my big toe about a week after starting to take this, and research told me that hospitals give massive doses of glutamine for severe trauma, which greatly decreases mortality rates and length of hospital stay. so bonus, hoping it helped my toe heal too.anyways, i started on a heavy loading schedule of around 5 days . . . i was taking like 10g about 3 or more times per day. at first, it gave me some D, but i dropped the individual doses a bit but kept the daily intake the same, and that helped. my body acclimated to it within a week.after a week, i could tell a different in my gut my BMs were more solid , not as urgent, and not as frequent.after the first week, i went to about 7-10g in my morning smoothie, and another 7-10g at night before bed (mixed in pain water). thats my current maintenance dose.the package says a teaspoon is 2.5g, but when i weighed a teaspoon on my digital scale, it weighed 3.3g.

I found out by way of diagnosis with an autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis) that I had intestinal hyperpermeability (i.e. "leaky gut"). My holistic physician and a book by Dr. Isabella Wentz on Hashimoto's taught me that is one of the conditions that is almost always required to be present for autoimmunity to develop, or it is a result. The only GI signs I had were a months history of gradual onset acid reflux (which I had never had before) and what I decided were early onset of low stomach acid and slight lactose intolerance. To treat the reflux which I saw as a symptom of the leaky gut I used prilosec at high doses as a very temporary measure to get a handle on things until I got my leaky gut headed in the right direction. I did this first with high dose probiotics (Hyperbiotics PRO-15 time-release regular strength 5 billion cfu "pearls") three times daily for a month, (after a month I tried to go down to once a day a normal dose and didn't feel enough support, so I switched to the Hyperbiotics Advanced Strength time-release tablets 15 billion cfu once daily and am still taking these at that dose - they are awesome), and then added high potency broad spectrum digestive enzymes including gluten-digest and dairy-digest also (all NOW brand) after every meal. Then I added Nature's Way licorice root,1 capsule three times a day with meals and NOW Aloe Vera gel caps 2 gels three times a day with meals along with the L-glutamine three times a day to address the leaky gut further, and I noticed after 2-3 weeks of this combination a definite improvement in how my GI tract overall felt, and noticed I was better absorbing my food and my vitamins, minerals, and other supplements.Another useful hint I used D-limonene (Jarrow) to stop my acid reflux almost completely taking just one soft gel a day and tapered off the prilosec completely within 1-2 weeks. After that the other supplements I added to help my intestines also helped to keep the acid reflux under control, although I added slippery elm (NOW) 1 capsule three times daily with meals when things got a little worse again. The last thing I got brave enough to try was Betaine Hcl with Pepsin (NOW brand) to correct for low stomach acid, another common cause of acid reflux and maldigestion and malabsorption as well as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which I strongly suspected I had had due to my rapid response to only the high dose probiotics in the beginning. It takes me anywhere from 1-3 capsules of Betaine Hcl to appropriately digest a small to large meal, depending on how much protein there is, but the extra acid definitely helps, believe it or not. The day I took my first dose of Betaine Hcl was the last day I ever took prilosec, which I consider a big win.I do believe the L-glutamine has been an essential part in beginning to heal my leaky gut. I have not changed my diet except to try to eat as healthy as possible, If I have to I will, but given how much better I feel in my GI tract, I find it hard to believe that I have a serious food intolerance problem at least so far. I do think the L-glutamine is more integral to my healing than I thought at first. At first I was going to take it for a month or two, expected to notice no difference and so then planned to stop, having done my due dillegence. Now, although I don't plan to be on it forever, I fully expect it to be a number of months minimum that I am on this, until I feel my "leaky gut" has healed.I highly recommend this product to anyone who is attempting to treat their own situation with intestinal hyperpermeability, or anyone who thinks they "just" have GERD or IBS or Celiac or any other intestinal disorder, it that may run deeper than you think. I have given all this information about my situation and the supplements I have used in case it can help someone else like me, or someone with a simpler problem. It was noticing the distinct effects of the L-Glutamine that to me confirmed the "leaky gut" hypothesis/diagnosis and I was surprised how much it helped, with myself having few overt GI symptoms initially. I highly recommend L-glutamine as a crucial component for healing leaky gut for anyone who even suspects they might need it. And Jarrow brand is always the best. It comes in a powder too where you can dose much higher doses but the tablets are working fine for me after I upped my dose to 2 tablets three times a day. What L-glutamine does is provides directly absorbable nutrition to the GI enterocytes to help the "tight junctions" heal. They are what are supposed to be able to keep food particles, bacteria, and other antigens from the systemic circulation where they cause systemic inflammation and sometimes autoimmune disease. The crucial thing is that the "leakiness" is sometimes silent except for mild GI symptoms or even seemingly unrelated symptoms such as joint pain.Even for someone without intestinal hyperpermeability but who has signs such as acid reflux and IBS, L-glutamine can be helpful because it provides direct healing to the cells lining the GI tract. Furthermore, for simple GI upset or IBS, many of the interventions and supplements I have been using can be helpful also. Some combination of licorice root, slippery elm, and marshmallow root can heal or manage many such cases on their own, and so can aloe vera. I believe with any even mild GI symptoms, though, that it is rare not to have dysbiosis, maldigestion, and malabsorption, and so no matter what, strong high quality probiotics (I highly recommend Hyperbiotics) and good broad spectrum powerful digestive enzymes are essential for almost anyone. And consider the L-glutamine - it is essential for anyone with any even "mild" form of "leaky gut", and it may just help with other simpler GI problems as well, and all with no side effects. I know what it does for me, and I will be reordering and using the L-glutamine tablets by Jarrow for the forseeable future. Highly recommend this product! Read more

今日届いて、早速試しに飲んでみると、すぐに身体が楽になって、本当に驚きました。こんなに即効果の出るサプリメントは初めてです。フットワークの軽かった十代の頃の身軽な感覚になりました。何時間か経つと戻ってしまったので、ちょくちょく少しずつ飲むのが良いのだろうと思います。調べたら、1日5から10gが適量だそうなので、やってみるつもりです。食事からは摂取量が足りなかったのだと身にしみました。味は、昆布のだし汁そっくりです。 Read more
