Hey guys,

I require some information regarding Glutamine/L-Glutamine.

I've used Glutamine before, and I've used products that have contained L-Glutamine. I was told that it would help muscle recovery, possibly help with muscle growth, and I believe I was told it could help with cognetive thinking. Anyway, I didn't notice anything I'd say was a huge difference while on it. Still, I'm interested in trying it again. I'd like more/better information this time if possible. Here are my questions. (if you can answer one, or more that would be great)

1. One of the products I was looking at was L-Glutamine tablets. They were in 500mg doses, and there were 90 in a bottle for $12 Canadian dollars (is this a good price?). My main question is...is there a major difference between the pills or powder? I've only ever taken it in powder before.

2. I saw some micronized L-Glutamine as well. Is there a difference worth the extra cost? It's about 10 bucks more expensive.

3. What dosage do you guys take? I'm around 6'5 and about 240lbs right now. If I recall correctly, I was taking about 20grams of the stuff before, but that would be like 40 of these tablets. Maybe I'm confused.

Thanks for any help
