KEY FEATURES
- Pure powder*
- Energy boost*
- Non-GMO*
Glutamine is one of the most abundant of all 20 amino acids, making up over 60% of all skeletal muscle tissue in the body. In addition to helping athletic performance and muscle growth, supplementation is often used to promote a healthy gastrointestinal tract and help ease leaky gut.
DIRECTIONS
Serving Size & Timing
The suggested serving size for L-Glutamine is 1000mg to be taken up to three times per day, one hour before or three hours after a meal, depending on intended effect. L-Glutamine works best when it is consumed on an empty stomach. Those that do use this supplement as an exercise aid generally prefer to take one of their doses directly after exercise. This is done in order to immediately replenish what was lost. Individual needs may vary depending on intended use. The recommended dose for bodybuilders is usually around 5 grams daily.

I started taking this product to help heal my gut, but after researching a little further I found that no only does it heal the GI, it also assists certain amino acids get into the body. I take two spoonfuls a day, which when I was buying locally put me in the store at least every two weeks. Thanks to Bulk Supplements I’m able to buy a large enough quantity that I won’t have to travel and use up my lunch break just to head to the only vitamin store in town. *

I love this product. I’ve only had it for a short time but I can already tell it’s going to be a game change
L-Glutamine is one of the most important nutrients for your intestines. L-Glutamine is the primary energy source for your immune system. It has the ability to “repair Leaky Gut Syndrome” by maintaining the integrity of the bowels.
If you’re suffering from Diarrhea, mix 1 teaspoon of L-Glutamine powder in a little water, and drink it on an empty stomach, and that should stop your diarrhea pretty quickly.
But the reason to take L-Glutamine on a daily and continued basis is for: COLONIC REPAIR.
Why?
Although L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is frequently used as a sports and fitness supplement, it has been found to help modulate the immune system and protect the mucosal protective layer in the intestine. Studies have demonstrated that glutamine can help improve blood flow in inflamed segments of the colon in patients who have ulcerative colitis, although its benefits did not extend to the most seriously affected portion of the colon (Kruschewski M et al 1998). Glutamine is also able to reduce leakiness of the intestine, which may help to reduce symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.
There have been numerous studies done on Glutamine supplementation and its beneficial effects. Please see Scientific/Medical Studies page.
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is the main source of energy for the mucosal cells that line the intestines, and helps them heal.
How do I take L-Glutamine?
I take it daily, mixed in my breakfast shake.
Here’s the recipe for
“Morning Glory Shake”:
1) 8 oz. of Almond Milk
(no carrageenan)
2) 1 scoop of Pro-Optimal
Whey Protein powder,
chocolate favored (or
another Whey Protein
Isolate powder of your
choosing)
3) 1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds
4) 1 Tablespoon of Gelatinized
Maca Root Powder
5) 1 scoops of L-Glutamine
powder (approx. 5 grams)
6) 1 Tablespoon of Hydrolyzed
Collagen Powder
(approx. 5 grams)
7) 1 scoop of D-Ribose
powder (approx. 5 grams)
Mix all the ingredients
in a blender – on very low
speed, as the amino acids
in the Pro-Optimal Whey
Protein are delicate and
can easily be destroyed
with heat (through high
speed blenders which
create heat), and enjoy.
This “Morning Glory” shake is just delicious and so
packed with all the nutrition you need, not
just to start your day off right, but to help heal your
immune system and colon.
Morning Glory Shake
What does each ingredient do?
1) Almond milk (without
carrageenan) is important
to give this shake flavor,
density, liquidity, and
taste and form.
2) Whey Protein – contains
proteins, which
are made up of the
many Amino Acids
your body and its
organs require to function.
3) Chia Seeds are
important for the fiber,
the minerals, and the
omega 3’s they provide
your body. If your gut
can’t handle the seeds,
then make Chia Seed
Gel and use 2
Tablespoons of this
Gel in its place.
4) Gelatinized Maca
Root Powder is to
help with fatigue,
depression, loss of
libido ( so many
of us have had as a
result of all those
terrible steroids our
doctors have made us
take), hair loss.

5) L-Glutamine Powder
is important as it has
been shown in studies
“heal the mucosal lining”
of the colon.

6) Hydrolyzed Collagen
Powder is a well
known “gut Healer”,
but in addition helps
with skin, hair, nails,
and more importantly
joint pains as well.

7) D-Ribose Powder
is a type of sugar that
all the cells of our bodies
need to produce their
energy, through a
molecule called ATP.
“…ATP is adenosine triphosphate.
Healthy, active cells constantly
replenish their supply of ATP to
produce vital cellular energy.
However, under conditions of stress,
injury, or aging, [or diseases such
as Auto-Immune Diseases],
critical body tissues such as
heart and skeletal muscles
cannot produce ATP quickly
enough to perform optimally.
D-ribose, a carbohydrate molecule
found in every living organism,
facilitates the production of ATP.
In studies of healthy athletes as
well as those who have suffered
injury to the heart muscle,
supplying fatigued muscle
cells with D-ribose quickly
restored ATP levels to normal.
By helping to rapidly refill depleted
energy stores, D-ribose may be
especially beneficial for people
coping with cardiac and other
problems marked by impaired
cellular energy production.
D-Ribose Tablets and D-Ribose
Powder can help speed energy
recovery, increase energy
reserves and maintain healthy
energy levels in heart and
muscle tissue.”

Here’s another note of importance
on the Morning Glory Shake,
1) you can add other vitamins to
it as well, personally I add
10,000 I.U. of liquid Vitamin D3
2) the Morning Glory Shake is
perfect for Bowel Rest
3) if you’re struggling to add
weight, you can add
a) 1/2 an avocado OR
b) 1/4 Cup of Almond Butter to your shake
4) mix it up a bit… experiment

Testimonial
“Awesome product! It’s pretty simple – only ingredient is glutamine. I take 1 scoop (5g each night before bed). When I first started taking it, I had much deeper sleep = more dreams = more REM = better recovery/energy levels. I got a bunch of my clients taking it, too. They experienced the same thing. It’s pretty affordable – certainly worth the investment.” – Daniel
Glutathione, Cysteine, & Vitamin C

| Glutathione, Cysteine & C 100 vegetarian capsules Item Catalog Number: 01541 |
| L-cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid, one of only three sulfur-containing amino acids, the others being taurine (which can be produced from L-cysteine) and L-methionine (from which L-cysteine can be produced in the body by a multi-step process). Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle, acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.1,2 Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, the body’s most important intracellular antioxidant and a vital detoxifier.3-7Glutathione (gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a peptide (short-protein) molecule synthesized in the body from the three amino acids L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine and glycine. Glutathione is one of the body’s most important and powerful antioxidants,8 helping to detoxify xenobiotics.9-12 A major function of vitamin C is to keep glutathione in its reduced form so that it can continue to provide free radical-quenching effects.12-15Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.16-23 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation.24,25 Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.20-22Because humans do not manufacture vitamin C internally, it must be obtained through dietary sources or supplements. Few people realize, however, that vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that is quickly oxidized and excreted by the body,26 which limits its efficacy. Until now, those seeking to capture vitamin C’s optimal health benefits have had no choice but to consume it several times throughout the day. |
Note: I take this Glutathione product because as a result of testing my Glutathione levels which were low, and as we have covered in the Updates, low levels of Glutathione are associated with several Auto-Immune Diseases, including Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s, and IBD.
Here’s the Glutathione test I had done:
Click here to see about the Glutathione Blood Testing
Glutathione is classified as a ‘tripeptide’, which means it is composed of three amino acids. The body produces glutathione from the amino acids Cysteine, Glutamic Acid and Glycine. Glutathione is an interesting and important antioxidant because it is found within the cell where it has the power to keep the cell running smoothly by neutralizing free radicals.
It is also known to enhance healthy growth and activity of immune cells plus it enables the body to rid itself of unwanted toxins and heavy metals.
Low levels of glutathione have been implicated in many autoimmune disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
