L-Glutamine Powder | 750 g | German Elite Nutrition

Flavored L-Glutamine Powder from German Elite Nutrition

Do you prefer to drink your amino acids with a fresh taste rather than a chalky shake? This l-glutamine powder from German Elite Nutrition is the flavored version, available in orange or lemon. L-glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in your body. This powder dissolves quickly in water or juice. A 750-gram bag provides 150 servings of 5 grams, enough for months of daily use.

What exactly is l-glutamine?

L-glutamine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins. Your body makes it itself, especially in your muscles and lungs, and you also get it from a protein-rich diet such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, and legumes. In your muscle tissue, glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in free form. Of all the free amino acids in your body, glutamine therefore accounts for the largest share. During intense and prolonged exertion, this free reserve in your muscles can temporarily decrease somewhat. This is precisely when many athletes consider a separate portion of glutamine, in addition to what they already get from their diet. Many take it alongside their usual protein intake from food and shakes, simply to supplement that intake a little. The idea is simple: you add a fixed portion of glutamine to your day. This variant does so in powder form, in an amount you accurately measure with the included scoop.

Orange or lemon, with a fresh touch

What makes this powder different from most stand-alone glutamines is the taste. Pure glutamine powder is neutral and a bit bland in water, a reason why some people eventually give up on it. This variant comes in orange and lemon, with natural malic acid as an acidity regulator and a light sweetener. You thus drink your portion as a refreshing drink rather than a chalky shake. You preferably mix it with cold water, as the orange or lemon flavor then comes out best. With a little more or a little less water, you determine the concentration of the drink yourself. For many people, this changes everything: a taste you enjoy simply makes it easier to actually take a supplement every day. Moreover, you hardly notice the somewhat typical and bland taste of glutamine anymore. And since you have two flavors, you can alternate if you get tired of one of them.

Vegetable fermented and allergen-free

The glutamine in this powder comes from a fermentation process based on corn, in which microorganisms build the amino acid. No animal raw materials are involved, which makes the powder suitable for vegans. It contains no gluten, lactose, gelatin, or artificial colors. In addition to l-glutamine, the formula contains only a small amount of taurine, malic acid, and the sweetener that together provide the taste. Beyond that, that's where it stops. What many people don't know: taurine itself is an amino acid-like substance often found in sports formulas and energy drinks. It is present here in moderate amounts, as part of the flavorful composition. In short: a clear list of ingredients, without a series of additives about which little is known.

How to use this l-glutamine powder

You mix 5 grams, about one level scoop, into a glass of water or juice. The powder dissolves easily, without leaving lumps at the bottom of your glass. Many athletes take their portion after training, simply because they are drinking something anyway, but there is no fixed time. You can just as easily take it throughout the day, whenever it suits you. Combine it without problems with other powders like creatine or a protein shake, just make sure the flavors match a little. Store the bag dry and tightly closed, the powder then remains free and easy to dose. The included scoop helps you take the same amount every time, so you don't have to guess. Since a bag contains 150 servings, you have enough for a good while with daily use. In practice, this means packaging that is not empty every week.

In short, this is a flavored l-glutamine powder for those who prefer to drink the amino acid separately with taste. 750 grams, 150 servings, choose from orange or lemon. A practical and plant-based supplement for your sports nutrition cupboard.
