Hello

If you're using a protein supplement yuo shoul dbe getting plenty of glutamine anyway, but it's always good to boost the levels anyway.

The tablets from h & b, only have 500mg = 0.5g, which isn't very much at all.

I think the tablets are meant for people that don't get much excercise and have it as a booster drug like vitamins.

As for the L-glutamine you seem to be puzzled about let me explain...

Glutamine is an amino acid and like all amino acids (except glycine) there are two forms L and D.

The ones that occur in the body are the L form.

All it is is scientific nomenclature for a compound, based on the way the chiral centre bends the plain of polarised light.

glycine doesn't have an L or D before because it isn't chiral.

That's all it is.
