How to Choose an L-Glutamine Powder in Australia
When you are working out how to choose an L-glutamine powder, the nutrition panel does most of the work: a pure product shows the same number of grams of glutamine as the serve size.
Short answer: look for free form L-glutamine as the only ingredient, a stated grams per serve, no flavours or sweeteners, and enough serves to make the price per day fair. Our pick is Propel Health L-Glutamine: 5.0 g of L-glutamine in every 5 g serve, nothing added, 60 serves.
How to choose an L-glutamine powder: four checks
1. L-glutamine, free form
The label should say L-glutamine. Glutamine bound up in protein powders or peptides is not the same as a straight amino acid powder.
2. Grams of glutamine per serve
The nutrition panel should list glutamine itself. If the serve is 5 g, glutamine should be 5 g.
3. Flavours and sweeteners
Plain glutamine is almost tasteless and mixes into anything. Flavoured versions add sweeteners and colours you may not want.
4. Serves per tub
Compare cost per serve, not price per tub.
