Glutamine
Are L-Glutamin the same as Glutamine (without the L)?

The L in L-Glutamine stands for Levorotary. This is a description of the the way the molecule polarizes light. all (well nearly) organic molecules originating from life turn out to be L (as opposed to D its opposite).
the answer is they are the same, cause its understood that if you buy glutamine for consumption then only the L- form is active and therefore that is what they sell you.
however, there is a D-glutamine (the mirror opposite of L-glutamine), but unless you are buying from a chemical supplier like Aldrich or Sigma, you won't be able to get any.
