The current generation of athletes is highly conscious of the fact that when it comes to dietary supplements, quality and purity make a huge impact on the end result. Hence, the manufacturers have been compelled to up their game and enrich the purity quotient of their offerings. AS IT IS as the name suggests aims and promises to deliver products whose ingredients have been picked from the source as it is i.e. without adulteration. They are comparatively new and have an elaborated range of products catering to the bodybuilding needs of enthusiasts.
As IT IS Nutrition L Glutamine is one from their many offerings and aims to improve muscle growth, recovery and athletic endurance. Every serving of this supplement gives you 5 grams of pure glutamine. The product label highlights in bold that glutamine is in its rawest form i.e. without additives, preservatives and flavours. Let us see how true to the claim this glutamine supplement actually is.
Nutrition Profile
AS IT IS L-Glutamine gives you 5 grams of glutamine with every serving of 5 grams. The product concentration is therefore 100%. A point to be noted is that most of the glutamine supplements out there offer a 100% concentration. Hence, what gives the product an upper hand are traits like quality, pricing and effectiveness. We will look into these shortly ahead.
The product label is pretty detailed and states what it has and also what it does not have very clearly. The product is labelled as sugar free, soy free, dairy free, yeast free, gluten free, corn free and additives free. There are no colours or flavours added. You get 100% raw glutamine as it is from the source.
Note: To ensure that people make the right choices, the label also educates people on why glutamine is essential. It says that glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is crucial in protein synthesis. It makes up for 60% of skeletal muscles and hence plays a crucial role in increasing athletic endurance, muscle gain and muscle recovery. With exercise the level of glutamine can reduce significantly and does not replenish until the body has recovered completely. Hence, glutamine intake becomes necessary for bodybuilders.
Taste
This glutamine supplement is unflavoured – a prominent trait of AS IT IS products. It is raw and pure. Hence, taste is out of question here. The label states that it can be added to any juice that you like to take it as a dietary supplement. A user mentioned that the product could be mixed easily with juices, plain water and coupled with other supplements like protein shakes. Another user stated that the product had no taste at all and he could have it with his protein shake without even smelling or tasting its presence.
Effectiveness
The product has been very well accepted by the users with maximum reviews working in favour of the brand. Users have praised everything right from packaging to its effectiveness quite generously. The reviews that we scanned stated that AS IT IS Nutrition L-Glutamine has successfully helped the users in rehydrating their worn out muscles to induce faster recover and growth, increased muscle endurance, and worked as a de-stress for muscles after an exhaustive workout.
Quality
Quality is definitely a strong pint for AS IT IS products. L-Glutamine too comes in a crisp, branded air tight zip lock packaging. The powder is uniform, fine and pure. Every pack comes with a smart label (a scan code) and a grey strip with a scratch code. These can be verified for authenticity via the Let’s Verify app available on Play store and iStore. So quality remains uncompromised at every stage.
Side Effects
Based on the reviews that we have scanned and the information that we have gathered, no side effects have been reported so far. Even the label does not list any side effects. The allergen quotient of the product is almost nil and glutamine itself plays a role in maintaining gastric health thus, negating the probability of having gastric disturbances. So the chances of having side effects with this supplement are pretty narrow.
Price/Value:
AS IT IS has taken care so far to not get on the higher side of the price bracket. A 250 gram pack costs around Rs. 630 and offers 50 servings. Hence, cost per serving comes to Rs. 12.6 which is pretty reasonable. With a 500 gram pack, cost per serving comes down to Rs. 11.9.
