This really is a review on Glutamine, not necessarily this brand specific because I don't feel it is too different than if comparing say, Kre-Alkalyn vs. Monohydrate, Muscle Milk vs. Pro Complex. For the most part, Glutamine is Glutamine. Sure, there's pill form, pH buffered, powders..but whatever. SciFit is just a brand I've come to trust for a lot of products so it works for me.

Glutamine really has become a staple for me. I used to always say to people just starting to get into supplements, the perfect foundation is a good Multi-Vitamin and a Fish Oil. Now it's a pyramid, with Glutamine on top.

Glutamine is an essential element in your body, but your body naturally produces so little of it. So, your body needs a lot more of it. It's a true product you actually need to supplement.

However, it's considered "non-essential" because you can make it, but when you workout, your muscles suck up every drop of it. And when you're lifting almost every day.. you can see why you need to supplement it.

It's the reigning supreme champ in recovery in my opinion. Since it's largely sourced in your muscles, a deficiency can cause catabolism, which is the opposite of building muscle. It also plays a part in immune function and mainly keeping your muscles in peak condition.

I did a three day food log and calculated every macro nutrient, vitamin, mineral, calorie, carb, fat, etc. for everything I ate. This excluded my Multi-Vitamin, and for the most part, I wasn't deficient in anything by a landslide. A Multi can help fill in the gaps, but it's not the same for Glutamine.

One problem with Glutamine though is it is very perishable. As soon as it's mixed, it's value will begin to decay in water. So I usually add this last in a shake, and as soon as you blend or shake it up, you wanna slam it down to get the most bang for buck.

It's recommended to take 5g a day, twice. I find it near perfect to sandwich in between your workout. 5g pre and 5g post. Sometimes another 5 before bed.

I'm using the powder currently, and you can sort of taste it. It's tasteless though, but when it's in your protein shake, you can taste something kinda bitter. Again, it's in no way a turn off, and I will always supplement.

I used to buy Optimum glutamine powder but as it turns out Scifit is cheaper and works just as well. Scifit makes really high quality products at great prices. If you don't use glutamine than you need to start. Glutamine is a must for bodybuilders!

Dissolves really well and doesn't really taste like anything which is good. I like to mix it in juice. take it before and after workouts and i believe it does a considerable amount in regards to my recovery. i got the 1000 gram tub for $30 when SciFit was first promoting it when it was a new product.

What can i say Sci Fit has become a brand that i have really enjoyed and have spread the word to others!

To start off i got this glutamine powder free with kre alkalyn which was a great deal! I took it like the directions said 1 serving pre 1 serving post.

After taking it i could really tell that it worked great for recovery.. I have never tried a glutamine supplement before And after trying this i will always use there glutamine powder!

the only negative i have is that it does not have a little measuring scoop.. which could be a pain sometimes measuring it and hoping you have the right amount.

Overall this was a great product and a great deal and i suggest this to everyone out there who is looking for a great value glutamine!
