This thread discusses the Content article: L-Glutamine Powder (Higher Power)

It appears that Higher Power no longer produces L-Glutamine powder. They now have Micronized Glutamine powder, and Glutamine capsules.

In my opinion, it does not matter whether they still make l-glutamine, or micronized glutamine etc. Glutamine has been proven to not show any influence on muscle gains and recovery. There are cases with i believe burn victims, training at certain intensities (which i doubt most average joes using glutamine do) and those with immune or digestive disorders?

*cough cough* (granted it is a glutamine carb mix i still believe it is pertinent)

from above link:

"Blood ammonia concentration increases during endurance exercise and has been proposed as a cause for both peripheral and central fatigue. We examined the impact of glutamine and (or) carbohydrate supplementation on ammonemia in high-level runners. Fifteen men in pre-competitive training ran 120 min (approximately 34 km) outdoors on 4 occasions. On the first day, the 15 athletes ran without the use of supplements and blood samples were taken every 30 min. After that, each day for 4 d before the next 3 exercise trials, we supplemented the athletes' normal diets in bolus with carbohydrate (1 g.kg(-1).d(-1)), glutamine (70 mg.kg(-1).d(-1)), or a combination of both in a double-blind study. Blood ammonia level was determined before the run and every 30 min during the run. During the control trial ammonia increased progressively to approximately 70% above rest concentration. Following supplementation, independent of treatment, ammonia was not different (p>0.05) for the first 60 min, but for the second hour it was lower than in the control (p<0.05). Supplementation in high-level, endurance athletes reduced the accumulation of blood ammonia during prolonged, strenuous exercise in a field situation.

there aer still so many studies that show it doesnt do anything. while it can be useful, its only in sprecific cases and often not very effective when supplemented orally

exactly the studies are still back and forth so to say it doesnt do anything isnt a solid statement.

it is a bold statement to use, but now, more and more are beginning to agree with the fact that it doesnt hold much benefit to the average user
