IST Pure Glutamine claims that it will improve your performance and recovery. It does this by allowing you to recover faster after a long and intense workout. Additionally, it protects your muscles from breaking down.

The supplement is not a hormone, it’s an amico acid. It claims to reduce your vulnerability to infections after a prolonged period of exercise, making it a very popular product that is used by both athletes and bodybuilders. IST Pure Glutamine works like an anti-catabolism for your muscles keeping your muscles strong before, during, and after competitions.

While it is ideal supplement for body builders, pure glutamine is a beneficial supplement for anybody looking to have a stronger immune system, build muscles, or look lean.

From the research I did, Reflex Micellar Casein was the one most people were recommending and was the cheapest in price (only by a few dollars, but a few dollars is a few dollars!).

Optimum nutrition whey

Intro: Out of all the protein powders I’ve tasted (and I’ve tasted a lot!) I’d have to say Optimum Nutrition’s 100% gold standard whey is in the top 3. It was smooth, easy to drink, especially when I mixed it with dextrose for my post workout shake. So top marks there.

Ingredients: As far as what’s in it, I’d say it slightly above average when compared with other WPIs (whey protein isolates). It contains around 95% pure whey protein with only a few grams of fat (a trace of trans-fats). Total carbs is also very low, which makes it a good choice for weight loss or using as a meal replacement.

Value for money: top marks on price for ON gold standard whey. From the sources I checked (online and in-store), it was always just that bit cheaper than the other major brands.

Conclusion: One of my favorite whey protein products. Well rounded, good nutritional content and good value for money. I’d recommend it for bodybuilders, sports and for people trying to lose weight.
