## Description

Product Description Glutamine is considered to be a conditionally essential amino acid, which means that under certain circumstances, the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. In the body, glutamine functions as a major nitrogen transporter and is critical for the maintenance of healthy nitrogen balance.* Glutamine also acts as the primary fuel for the rapidly growing cells of the immune system and GI tract.* NOW® L-Glutamine Powder is a pure, free-form, non-essential amino acid and is the highest grade available. Natural color variation may occur in this product. Brand Story By NOW Foods

Review: Cured My IBS - I started having stomach problems about 3 years ago. Every morning I would wake up and feel nauseated and always have to have a bowel movement at least 3 times before I even left work. Slowly over time, I figured out that I was experiencing a form of IBS. So I started trying different remedies and treatments I found online to treat what I had. I tried: Gluten Free Peppermint Oil Kombucha & Asparagus Extract Cutting Out Chewing Gum Eliminating Dairy Juice Fast Aloe Vera Extract No Nicotine Cutting Energy Drinks Starving Myself Apple Cider Vinegar Allergy Medicine After 3 years I pretty much figured I'd have to live with the cramps all day and the constant need to go to the bathroom. I found an article from a forum from a woman that said she had cured her IBS and several people's IBS that she knew by using: 10-30 Grams L-Glutamine 15 Million Count Probiotics I bought Now Foods Glutamine, and probiotics here on desertcart called "Pro-15" I drank 15 grams of Glutamine, twice a day. And took 2 capsules of the Pro-15 probiotics. I started to see results within the first day. Slowly over the course of 2 weeks I felt completely healed. It's now been 2 months and I can safely say that I am cured. I'm starting to remember what it's like to have a normal digestive system again. I only have one bowel movement a day and I never have to rush to the bathroom, no matter WHAT I eat. I'm still in disbelief that I'm actually normal again. I have my life back. I can finally go on trips, go out with friends, make plans to leave the house first thing when I wake up, and all without having to worry about whether or not there will be a bathroom nearby. I just want to say thank you to Now Foods for making a high quality Glutamine source. It literally changed my life

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the "L" in L-Glutamine?**
A: L-amino acidsAmino acids can exist in two forms, the D-form (dextrorotary) and the L-form (levorotary, the mirror image of the D-form). The D-form is not used by the body and can often be harmful or toxic. Only the L-form is used by the body.It is therefore important to be careful when discussing amino acids on a high level: one might neglect to specify an L-amino acid and merely refer to arginine, for example. But really L-arginine, the levorotary form which can be metabolised by the human body, is almost always meant.  (Source = http://www.amitamin.com/uk/amino-acids/ )

**Q: Is this product "flavorless" where I can mix it with my protein shake?**
A: It is pretty much flavorless, with a faint clay-ish or chalky taste. I believe other flavors in your protein shake would completely cover any flavor from the L-glutamine.

**Q: Where is this from?  i see that now's creatine has been blocked bc of quality issues (it is from china)**
A: Now is family owned, for over 50 years and about 15% of their products come from China, from highly vetted vendors.  A phone call to their customer service will tell you where any of their products are from.  They test every material that comes into their facilities in the U.S. for purity, potency and reject materials that don't pass standards.

**Q: Does this product have a smell the way Bulk Supplements glutamine does???**
A: Odorless, tasteless.  I love this stuff and it's all I use because NOW makes pure products with no extras and fillers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product to heal the gut
*by C***. on November 15, 2025*

This was recommended to me by a nurse practitioner to heal my gut after a bad reaction to medication. It is easy to use, dissolves well, no unpleasant taste. It’s even ok in plain water. I get quick relief from abdominal discomfort.
