"First of all, let's take a moment and wait for all the amazing, well meaning hippies and planet earth enthusiasts to leave this review section. Go on, I'll wait tilI I hear your birkenstocks clop clop clop down the hallway before I begin. Heaven forbid anyone of them buy a product that isn't made from 100% organic and blessed by New Zealand made vegetarian duck farts. Yes this product comes from China, so by default everything is evil and cruel in the world and toxic and we're going to give ourselves cancer because it's not double certified and and kosher blessed by a rabbi's fart to boot. Wanting to use this product wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the logic in seeing 10K plus positive reviews stating how these products have helped people (rolls eyes).

Now that it's just you and I, I'll continue. I'm here because I was searching for amino acids to buy in bulk without fillers. I wanted something priced fair and pure. After all my searching, Bulk Supplements had the ideal products. The only thing that was left for me to do was scan through all the reviews to see if such products would help me. I have a connective tissue disorder so I made it a point to buy all the aminos that had an effect in regards to tissues of the body. I also bought Glutamine as I read that helped people with their SEVERE bread/wheat/carbohydrate cravings as I have severe bread cravings for that and dairy. I work out often and can never lost the extra 25 pounds because of my food addiction to wheat and dairy. After one day I felt a difference so noticeable I logged in and bought the other remaining 4 amino Acids I needed but did not buy before do to not wanting to spend so much. But since they work and it seems most of these will last 6 months to a year, I opened the floodgates and bought everyone that was unique to me. I ended up buying about 8 products on my first purchase 6 weeks ago.

Coming from someone who has tried adding coconut oil, vitamins, probiotics, nothing ever seemed to make much of a difference. It wasn't until I started taking amino acids that everything moved forward for me in my health goals. THIS......STUFF.......WORKS! I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm seeing progress in my energy and health. I want to add that I also bought the Potassium citrate. I can't EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW MUCH THAT ALSO HELPED ME! I work out every other day and I use the sauna for about 40 minutes. In conjunction with taking aminos and now getting about 5K (4700 the average, but I workout hard) mg of potassium citrate, I'm feeling so much better! Even in my workouts I had to increase the weight by about 20 percent on the machines I use, and I even had to add more reps onto my sets! My original workout felt like I never even worked out since taking these products! Now even with added weight and reps onto my workout regimen, I still feel like I didn't quite workout enough! But I keep my increases minimal as I don't want to go ahead to much. But I can't flipping believe how much these products have boosted what I can do in the weight room AND not feel like a gassed race horse when I'm done. This stuff is literally the MAGIC powder. And with how its helping me with regular health outside of working out and also keeping me from falling off on binge eating on pizza and ice cream, this stuff is it. I'll always be a consumer of these products.

Since I already ordered 3 times from this company (LOL) in the last 6 weeks, I got three free sample products to try that I WOULD NOT NORMALLY BUY! But since they also helped, I ended up adding them onto my next order! And to those people that complained about getting the free samples being just a marketing ploy and other nonsense, BUGGER OFF! There are products I wouldn't have bothered to try but since I got to try them for free and I liked them, I added them onto my next purchase. Because they worked for ME. You're getting a product that could very well last for a month and free shipping, all you have to do is leave a review if you like it or not. Yes, what a scam bulk supplements is running (rolls eyes).

As of now there are two other products I plan on ordering from them, the Melatonin and the BCAA 3-1-2 product. Again, I'm only doing this because of how much positive gains I'm seeing in my health and workout. Another bonus was I could never eat enough meat, I was always hungry for tuna, turkey, beef, I could never get enough and my grocery bill was always high. Now I can eat a normal serving of meat and I feel like I don't need anymore thanks to taking the Acetylcarnitine and the Creatine, components that are found in muscle tissue.

How I take my supplements is as follows- I take one serving size amount of each one in the morning. Then in the evening I take one serving size of only the msm, ascorbic acid, acetyl carnitine, Arginine, L-Glutamine, D-Ribose, potassium citrate. I take this because of budget, I want what I have to last longer, but these products are most important in keeping my cravings at bay so I take them once more at night. You can take some of these 3 times a day it says, but I only do them all once, and what I just listed twice. If I was rich and could afford $300 in supplements every 2-3 months I'd take them 3 times day. But since I'm not I make them last :)

In summary, what I take is what I feel my body needs. And I am 100% happy with the effects I have experienced. And as for odors like some people described when they open their packages, well.........Some of these are chemicals, aren't they? MSM will smell like a sulphur like smell, correct? Unless you want added scents to mask things (which I don't) I honestly have not had a problem with that. And for the foil cosing bag, what I did was go to Walmart and buy a package of the large sized mason jars and I use those to hold my amino's in. I can't see knocking off a star because of the foil bag seal. Just pour it in a wide mouth mason jar and get a measure spoon to dish it out.

If you're wondering what products I've used with this company, if you're reading this review then this is the product I purchased and have in my pantry. I'm not rewriting a review for each item, so I am copying and pasting a review to use on every item I bought from them. Any other questions please ask, but I find that as a person with health issues and food issues these items have helped me beyond anything else I've ever tried."

"I've heard about Glutamine for at least 20 years since I started lifting weights. It used to the THE SUPPLEMENT to take after protein and creatine. Then some studies came out disputing it works and I quit taking it. Fast forward to 2023 - Dr Andy Galpin was on the Huberman Lab podcast and mentioned Glutamine as being one of the few supplements he would recommend. I figured why not, I am actually turning away from supplements, whereas in the past I took a bunch. So, I had room in my regimen and budget. Anyway, I found the flavor to be disgusting, which is funny because I have had supplements from every side of the spectrum flavor wise. I ended up tossing 10g post workout (morning) fasted and then another 10g with my afternoon snack (typically a shake). Both applications the flavor was very apparent. I ordered another brand (BodyStrong) and found it to be about half the price and the flavor is much less pronounced and I know BodyStrong is a quality brand, so it leads me to believe this may not be of the highest quality. The zip bag, while good for the environment, will always leave residue on your hands and if you're lucky the zipper will last half the bag. Just my .02c, if you can tolerate the taste and like this brand then go for it."

"My initial challenge in medicine was to help HIV patients survive before we had any antiviral medications. I report that we not only made them live beyond the HIV death sentence, in all cases we converted patients into champion athletes. From this we learned a great deal of science that enhances quality of life and extends life.

Early on in desperation we set up double-blind studies (whereby neither the physician nor patient knows if they are actually getting the treatment drug/nutrient). We tested absolutely every single nutrient and drug that had any positive claim: from lemon leaf with olive oil to homeopathy! In the end, we learned WHAT REALLY WORKS and what did not!

One of the most amazing discoveries was the value of Glutamine – Which is part of a general detoxification reaction studied in human biochemistry. The results were so astonishing the local hospitals created liver detox clinics that used nothing more than glutamine and alpha lipoic acid.

Glutamine is the major constituent of the immune system; main biochemical of the GI tract; a main biochemical constituent for the building, break-down & modification of amino acids (proteins or the building blocks of the body); is the only chemical that can detox your body of nitrogen, ammonia & Uric acid compounds, and thus used to cleanse the liver & kidneys. It is also used as biochemical in brain. That’s a hellavua lot!

In addition to detoxifying your body of ammonia & balancing pH, the liver & kidneys must dispose of an enormous array of pharmaceutical and environmental chemicals. Of the numerous remedies, medicinal agents, chemicals, and herbal remedies in existence, more than 600 are recognized as being capable of bringing grave harm to the liver and kidneys. HIV patients often presented with a co-infection of hepatotoxic Hepatitis C. Hepatitis along with an astonishing pharmacological regimen, (often 40 to 60 pills a day), presented us with a real challenge. The solution, Glutamine, alpha-lipoic acid and silymarian, was so effective, local hospitals used the same to open so-called ‘liver clinics’ at great profit!

Glutamine also serves as the main source of energy for the mucosal cells of the small intestine! Therefore, glutamine also helps greatly in the digestion of food. Without it, your small intestines would be in real trouble! The cells of the GI tract use glutamine to create the energy they need to function, to protect the body from foreign invaders, and to modulate the size of the pores or “leakiness” of the intestines thereby allowing food into the bloodstream.

In addition to supplying energy for intestinal epithelial cells, glutamine stimulates the proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells [1] . Studies demonstrated that glutamine decreased bacterial translocation and stimulated IgA mucosal secretion [2,3] , ; and initiates anti-inflammatory effects [4] .

You’ll note the connection between immunity and GI tract. Around the GI tract are wandering immune cells always patrolling for foreign invaders in a potentially hostile environment. In fact, 70% of your immunity surrounds the GI tract – Thus, any GI tract troubles eventually become immune system problems! And immune system problems can destroy the body! Glutamine protects the body from assaults in the GI tract. Assaults to the immune system through the GI tract include: GMO foods (GMO foods were manufactured by adding the foreign DNA of bacteria, viruses and fungus), and pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungus, protozoa like cryptosporidium, and parasites)! If the Glutamine storage in your GI tract gets low, you won’t be very well protected from pathogens, you will have difficulty digesting nutrients, and can develop ‘leaky gut syndrome’ (where things leak into the blood stream that do not belong there – All of which gives rise to increased immune system trauma). Collectively these events conspire to ramp up autoimmune disorders! In other words, without enough Glutamine, your body can’t prevent food allergies or fight illness!

One of the most serious side-effects of HIV infection is diarrhea. We found that Glutamine supplementation is the most effective treatment for diarrhea on the planet – AND WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECTS associated with medications like Imodium!

Immune cells also participate in the production of hormones and even participate in neurotransmitter communication with the brain. A challenged immune system causes diabetes, (types 1 and 2), chronic pain, anxiety and depression. Poor immunity leads to hormonal imbalance and mental disease. Glutamine not only makes up a significant part of immunity, it is a major excitatory neurotransmitter of the brain!
