what is the "L" in L-Glutamine?

L-amino acidsAmino acids can exist in two forms, the D-form (dextrorotary) and the L-form (levorotary, the mirror image of the D-form). The D-form is not used by the body and can often be harmful or toxic. Only the L-form is used by the body.It is therefore important to be careful when discussing amino acids on a high level: one might neglect to specify an L-amino acid and merely refer to arginine, for example. But really L-arginine, the levorotary form which can be metabolised by the human body, is almost always meant. (Source = http://www.amitamin.com/uk/amino-acids/ )

Is this product "flavorless" where I can mix it with my protein shake?

It is pretty much flavorless, with a faint clay-ish or chalky taste. I believe other flavors in your protein shake would completely cover any flavor from the L-glutamine.

Where is this from? i see that now's creatine has been blocked bc of quality issues (it is from china)

Now is family owned, for over 50 years and about 15% of their products come from China, from highly vetted vendors. A phone call to their customer service will tell you where any of their products are from. They test every material that comes into their facilities in the U.S. for purity, potency and reject materials that don't pass standards.

Does this product have a smell the way Bulk Supplements glutamine does???

Odorless, tasteless. I love this stuff and it's all I use because NOW makes pure products with no extras and fillers.
