  1. I've been taking 10 grams per day of L-Glutamine for over a year. I just
    bought a new product at my local Vitamin store that claims to be better. (I
    have no financial connection to this.) It is called: "Peptide Transported
    Glutamine" On the bottle they claim it has 20 times the bioavailability of
    straight free form L-Glutamine. The "Supplement Facts" section on the label
    calls it: "Peptide Bonded Glutamine"

    Is anyone familiar with this?

    I believe P.T. Barnum is very familiar with it.

  3. I would think that means
    1) It is much cheaper to create
    2) You have to digest it to break the peptide apart before absorption into
    the bloodstream.
    3) You are taking 20 times as much substance wxplaining the bioavailability
    increase.
    4) Let us know how much better it works and tell us what the Glutamine did
    for you in the first place.

    What about the claims made by Blaylock and others that supplemental
    glutamine is excitotoxic to brain cells and may cause glutamate
    induced brain damage?

  6. Is this an anti-natural thing? A substance in isolated form is harmeful but
    in a food is fine?

    What if I press the capsules into my steak next time?

    Glutamine certainly is generously present in protein foods but not in "free form".

    Yes, cheaper. Enhanced bioavailability is BS.

    However, to address point 2.....

    It is false that peptides are not capable of crossing the epithelium lining
    the digestive tract. They do so all the time. I would like to see an
    explanation of anaphylactic shock from exposure to allergens such as peanut
    or shellfish protein that did not entail absorption of intact peptides. The
    contents of your digestive tract are outside your body; in three dimensional
    terms, mammals are toroids. A drinking straw is a torus. There is an opening
    at our top ends (mouth), a tube through the middle (digestive tract), and an
    opening at the other end (anus). The digestive tract is surrounded by the
    body, but it is not inside the body. Only substances that cross the
    epithelial wall lining the digestive tract are inside our bodies. Numerous
    peptides are absorbed. Consider the exorphins that trigger celiac disorder,
    or those that modulate milk/dairy intolerance. Bromelain enzymes, with an
    amino acid residue count in the 100's, are found intact in the blood, after
    oral intake.
