This has great taste! I've been taking it 3-4 times a day to help heal my leaky gut. Richard (Goodbye Leaky Gut) recommends that we take it on an empty stomach. He has this to say this about L-Glutamine: "So as you probably know leaky gut happens when your gut lining is too permeable, aka intestinal hyper-permeability. Meaning things that shouldn’t go through your gut lining and into your bloodstream, do. Well, L-Glutamine helps strengthen the gut lining so this doesn’t happen. Here’s how: L-Glutamine is 1 of 20 amino acids. But unlike many of the other amino acids, it is unique, because it is the primary fuel used by the cells in your gut lining. They love it! So much so that they’re actually able to absorb it directly. Which makes supplementation even more effective. And since it is their preferred source of fuel these cells, lining the mucosa of the small intestine, consume it ravenously in order to repair and regrow themselves. By feeding these cells the fuel they love, your body is able to produce more intestinal mucus and Secretary Immunoglobulin Type A (SIgA), as well as tighten up the openings in your gut lining themselves, thereby stopping things like large undigested food molecules and other toxins crossing the gut barrier and into your bloodstream (ie stopping leaky gut). When the gut barrier strengthens like this, the inflammation in your body starts to slow down since fewer and fewer toxins are successfully hitting your bloodstream. Plus your immune system starts to enjoy some relief – and unsurprisingly it is able to strengthen. And that’s when you really start to enjoy the benefits that come from the repairing effects of L-Glutamine. Whenever you drink a mixture of L-Glutamine powder and water (how I take it), you should think of it like bathing your intestines with a protective coating of sorts. Picturing that as you sip on your L-Glutamine drink throughout the day can be very reassuring. As you can see taking L-Glutamine is all about feeding your gut with the fuel it needs to be strong. Kind of the same way athletes and gym goers take protein powder to feed and support their muscles. The great thing about L-Glutamine is it also works to support your overall health. For example it helps remove waste such as ammonia from your system, synthesizes proteins and even helps your body maintain stable blood glucose levels. Because of the many and varied powers of L-Glutamine, unsurprisingly it is also used to support several other conditions too. For example, people with sugar or alcohol cravings have been known to use it to reduce said desire. Even chemotherapy patients are being given L-Glutamine as part of new research projects, because it helps fight against many of the terrible side-effects they experience like joint pain, diarrhea and poor digestive health in general. For such a simple 1-ingredient supplement it sure does offer a lot of benefits."
