Glutamine not only is an amino acid, and therefore a protein, but it also works synergistically with products, such as protein supplements (most contain glutamine already). There is usually ~4g of L-Glutamine per 25g of whey protein.

ya, someone was tellin me that the powder form if taken alone was shot down by stomach acids and not absorbed well. sayin the pill form released slower and was not broke down as bad. somewhat made sense but not really

[Deen54]

that's hearsay evidence it would never hold up in court.

[Mbuffguy]

naw pills scuk no matter what try to get liquid or powder

[NotSmall]

I use glutamine peptides cos supposedly the absorption is better.

I was told tablets suck cuz the "tableting" (dont even know if that is a word) process utulized a lot of heat and it destroys amino acids
