L-Glutamine Powder (Higher Power)

Reduce The Amount Of Muscle Deterioration!

Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-glutamine. L-glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and it appears to be a very important nutrient for body builders.

When supplemented, it may help body builders reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells. L-Glutamine works extremely well and is priced way below retail!

I have used Higher Power L-Glutamine Powder in the past many months and I find that it works great. Glutamine is an amino acid that helps with the muscle's recovery after a long strenuous workout.

The product is micronized which also is a huge benefit because its powder particles are extremely small and absorb fully in the intestinal track, so basically you get the most out of every 4.5 gram teaspoon serving.

As for the effects, I take it twice a day one mid day and one before bed and it definitly works. The next mornings of extreme workouts the day before products very little soreness which is exactly what this product is suppose to do. My recovery time between different muscle groups has lowered since using this product. For the low price this product usually has it definitly does not have low results. I would reccommend this product to anyone that usually pays extreme prices for the same results.

L-Glutamine powder by Higher Power is a free form amino acid. Glutamine is thought to help improve muscle recovery and decrease fatigue and soreness.

There's a good amount of research going both ways, that Glutamine works and that Glutamine is a scam, so I'm not going to talk about definitive, scientific proof in this review, only my personal results.

My first experience with Glutamine was with 750mg Glutamine Capsules from GNC. I took two of them after every workout and they didn't do anything. I read that you should take at least 5g of glutamine at a time for it to survive the GI Track and actually make it to the muscles. I started looking for bulk glutamine powder, and the Higher Power brand was simple and inexpensive.

I take 10g of Glutamine per day (plus the glutamine present in my Multi and protein powders) 5g in my post-workout shake and 5g in my bedtime shake. It is tasteless and mixes well in anything. Since starting Glutamine Powder I have noticed a significant reduction in soreness. Whether this is actual science or just a placebo effect, I'm not sure. But the bottom line is that this product helps me to hit the weights with less soreness, which leads to more productive workouts.
