  • "I looked up bulk supplements to see if what they sell is legit. what I found out is that a lot of their supplements are very toxic."

Packaging

Pros:

  • "Nice packaging it comes in."
  • "The packaging is also good."
  • "Their packaging is clean and efficient, and the included dosage suggestions are clear and concise."
  • "I appreciate that it comes in a ziplock sack rather than plastic containers. Better for the environment, and saves space in my cupboard."
  • "The aesthetic of the package is very appealing, and supplement facts and ingredient descriptions are clearly labeled."

Cons:

  • "The bag is resealable, but it gets clogged with powder so better off putting it in an airtight container."
  • "The only thing that I find annoying with the packaging is that the bag does not reseal very well."
  • "The bag sucks and doesn't re-seal easily, but I don't care since I'm paying for the l-glutamine and can put it in a ziploc bag."
  • "I find these zip bags do not hold up well for multiple openings."
  • "Once you open the package you cannot seal it."
  • "Packaging: The packaging doesn't reseal on the kilo bags for either of the different supplements I purchased."
  • "I hate that the bag doesn’t close. Powder keeps flying out of the damn thing. The zip lock park doesn’t work at all."

Taste and Smell

Pros:

  • "It tastes very amino-acidy but with more flavors than other blander ones such as tyrosine."
  • "It tastes slightly 'bright' like I've added a little bit of lemon to the water - but it doesn't feel or taste acidic."

  • "The product also mixes well with water, and is mostly tasteless."
  • "It's tasteless and can be added to any liquid."
  • "Glutamine mixes well in water and has a slightly sweet taste."
  • "It's also tasteless in water."

Cons:

  • "I opened the package and was hit in the face with a very strong ammonia smell."
  • "I've ordered this in the past and recently it has strong ammonia odor."
  • "Like a lot have said, terrible smell of ammonia. I left the bag open for a week to air out and this did not help."

  • "Glutamine is excellent for heartburn and other gut maladies."

  • "I ordered this product to help with joint stiffness and muscle fatigue. I’ve been taking this for about a month now and I have noticed a real difference."

  • "I find it has made a noticeable difference in reducing soreness after workouts and shortening recovery time."
  • "I am not sore at all the next day."

Cons:

  • "I don't think I have been using the product long enough to see any real benefit yet."
  • "I won't be refilling once I run out and will find another brand I can buy in bulk."
  • "Dispite what it says on the packaging and in the description, this l-glutamine powder must have some sort of filler in it because not only did I see zero effects but it doesn't fully dissolve like l-glutamine is supposed to."
  • "I don't know why but the L-Glutamine is still upsetting my belly even though it shouldn't be."
  • "I threw this away. It caused me not to eat but that didn't help in my quest to undo a brain injury and lose weight."
  • "If it does help with muscle soreness, it’s on the lower end."
  • "I bought this supplement to help with GI health, better sleep, hair growth, etc. I have not seen any of these benefits but that may just be my system."
