Frequently Asked Questions
1. When is the best time to take L-Glutamine?
Timing depends on your primary goal:
For Muscle Recovery: Take it immediately following your workout. Mixing it into your post-workout protein shake helps prevent muscle breakdown.
For Gut Health: Many experts recommend taking it on an empty stomach, usually 30 minutes before a meal or right before bed, to allow the intestinal lining to absorb it directly without competition from other proteins.
2. Does it have a taste or grit?
NOW L-Glutamine is a pharmaceutical-grade, fine crystalline powder. It is virtually tasteless, though some users report a very faint, slightly sweet or "neutral" mineral hint. It dissolves almost completely in water or juice. Unlike some BCAAs, it doesn't leave a "chalky" residue or float on top of the liquid.
3. Is it vegan and "Clean"?
Yes. NOW L-Glutamine is produced via a fermentation process, making it 100% Vegan and Vegetarian. It contains no fillers, flow agents (like magnesium stearate), or artificial sweeteners.
