It is well known that l-glutamine preserves muscle and helps the immune system, it also builds and repairs the intestinal lining. Mine was so damaged from parasites and candida. The suggested way to take this is to dissolve in liquid and drink, I used it another way. I found it slightly sweet, so would scoop it (it's in powdered form) on top of home made yogurt (along with organic cinnamon). I was hoping that it would work together with the yogurt to replenish flora and rebuild the intestinal lining and it has! I won't be without it now. Was ordering more and thought I would share this info. If you wish to order it from iherb and use my code of VIR110, you'll receive $5 off your first order.
I also order their Nutiva Coconut oil, I've tried several types of oil and theirs is by far the best and affordable.
Enjoying fruit for the first time in 5 years, it's every bit as good as I remember : )
