Is it just me or does glutamine have a bad after taste?
I mixed in 5g with my protein drink and it tasted horrible. Has my glutamine gone bad? (It is AST GL-3) Just the taste makes me not want to use it.

I find it quite tasteless dhahn - if anything perhaps a little "aspirin" like (but only a trace). Maybe mix it with a malto dextrin drink like Gatorade after your workout - I find I find it tastes okay that way.

Is there an expiration date on your jar?

I take a tea spoon of pure glutamine and pop it into my mouth, then some water, and down it go....... No bad taste what so ever!
I wouldn't recommand taking extra glutamine with your protein drink anyway (take it 15 mins before or later so you'll get all the benefits from both supps).

well what i do is i take , GNC's MEGA WHEY , which has 5 grams of glutamine and 3 grams of Branched chain amino acids , plus 40 grams of protein in it , and i think whatever flavor they sell it in tastes just fine.

Mega Whey is the best stuff I've tasted so far; do you know any online wholesaler's GOWAR that are cheaper than GNC?

I never noticed a taste, let alone an aftertaste.

Really? With pure glut. powder there is such a distinct sour taste, nothing to gag about, but definitely there...maybe its just me. I just take the whole spoonful at once and down it with water.
