Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / October 2004L-Glutamine
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've been taking 10 grams per day of L-Glutamine for over a year.

SignatureThe Oil of Love http://makeashorterlink.com/?J39112559 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. > I've been taking 10 grams per day of L-Glutamine for over a year.

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.

What about the claims made by Blaylock and others that supplemental glutamine is excitotoxic to brain cells and may cause glutamate induced brain damage? 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? > > I've been taking 10 grams per day of L-Glutamine for over a year.
