    Glutamine powder vs. capsules


    I see people say glutamine is glutamine but why are there some big powder jugs on the market that go for 50$ while there are also capsules (each one 1 gram) for around 13$. What is the difference if any?Can somone explain to me how a scoop of glutamine powder has the same benefits as a normal sized capsule

    $25 for 1000 grams of water soluble glutamine. A capsule can hold MAYBE 750mg, which means you would have to find around 1300 caps for the same price. I highly doubt you will be able to match this price.

    How many capsules equal one scoop? That's your answer.

    It is useless. Save your money and buy some quality food or protein or even bcaa's.

    I find it's easier if you mash up your capsules into a nice powder first.

    No, I actually measure out the powder and parachute it. Kinda makes you wonder why I go through the bother of taking capsules, mashing them up, and measuring them back out, wrapping in 1-ply toilet paper and swalling as I would a capsule.

    I didn't think Thrive was out yet.

    no, you pour your caps in a bowl, add milk and eat with a spoon.
