L-Glutamine Powder with Flavor | 750 g | German Elite Nutrition

Flavoured L-Glutamine Powder from German Elite Nutrition

Would you rather drink your amino acids with a fresh taste than a bland shake? This l-glutamine powder from German Elite Nutrition is the flavoured version, available in orange or lemon. L-glutamine is the most common 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 l-glutamine exactly is

L-glutamine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks that make up protein. Your body produces it itself, especially in your muscles and lungs, and you also get it through protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and legumes. In your muscle tissue, glutamine is the amino acid that is most abundantly present freely. Of all the free amino acids in your body, glutamine therefore accounts for the largest share. Many people take it in addition to their regular protein intake from food and shakes, simply to supplement that intake a bit. The idea behind it is simple: you add a fixed dose of glutamine to your day. This variant does that in powder form, in an amount that you measure precisely with the included measuring scoop.

Orange or lemon, with a fresh twist

What makes this powder different from most plain glutamines is the taste. Pure glutamine powder is neutral and a bit bland in water, a reason why some people give up on it after a while. This variant comes in orange and lemon, with natural malic acid as an acidifier and a light sweetener. This way, you drink your serving as a fresh thirst quencher instead of a bland shake. It is best to mix it with cold water, then the orange or lemon flavour will come out best. With a splash more or less water, you decide how concentrated you want the drink to be. For many people, that makes a big difference: a taste you enjoy simply makes it easier to actually take a supplement every day. By the way, you can hardly taste the somewhat typical, bland glutamine taste anymore. And because you have two flavours, you can alternate if you get tired of one of them.

Plant-based fermented and free from allergens

The glutamine in this powder comes from a corn-based fermentation process, where microorganisms build up the amino acid. No animal-based raw materials are used, making the powder suitable for vegans. It contains no gluten, lactose, or gelatin, and no artificial colours either. In addition to l-glutamine, the formula only contains a small amount of taurine, the malic acid, and the sweetener that together create the taste. That's all. What many people don't know: taurine is itself an amino acid-like substance that you often see in sports formulas and energy drinks. It is included here in a modest amount, as part of the tasty composition. In short: a clear ingredient list without a bunch of additives you don't know the fine details of.

How to use this l-glutamine powder

You stir 5 grams, approximately one level measuring 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 serving after training, simply because they are drinking something anyway, but there is no fixed time. You can just as well take it throughout the day, whenever it suits you. Feel free to combine it with other powders such as creatine or a protein shake, just make sure the flavours match each other a bit. Store the bag dry and tightly closed, then the powder will remain loose and scoopable. The included measuring scoop helps you to take the same amount every time, so you don't have to guess. Because a bag contains 150 servings, it will last you a long time with daily use. In practice, that means a package that is not empty again every week.

In short, this is a flavoured l-glutamine powder for those who prefer to drink the plain amino acid with a taste. 750 grams, 150 servings, available in orange or lemon. A practical, plant-based addition to your sports nutrition cupboard.
