OTHER BRANDS OF L-GLUTAMINE DIDN'T WORK FOR ME:I was hesitant to try another L-glutamine because other brands left me feeling uncomfortable or bloated. I hadn't tried one in years, but someone suggested this brand and I gave it a try. I LOVE IT! I don't take it every day, I only take it when I feel like. I don't notice major gastrointestinal benefits, but I feel really good when I take it.DEEPER BREATHING:An added and unexpected bonus is that I breath more deeply when I take it, and I'm not even congested! It is hard to describe, but my nasal passages feel more clear and open the entire way from my nose to my lungs -- and, they didn't even feel blocked (could be the marshmallow root). I also feel as though I'm breathing more deeply into my lungs. It was completely unexpected to feel this was as I saw this as more of a digestive product.My pal at a healthfood store suggested I try another powdered brand (to save money) and take marshmallow root separately. I will, but haven't yet because I take so little of this product it's lasting a long time. If I do, I'll report back on the results.TASTE:To me, it has hardly any taste and the powder texture is fine, but not gritty. It is just every so slightly sweet or soft tasting to me, which I think might be the marshmallow root.AN EASY WAY TO TAKE IT:I have no problem taking it. I fill the scoop, pour half the powder under my tongue, close my mouth for a moment and allow the powder to get a little wet from my saliva. Then, I take a sip of water and allow the powder to mix with the water and I swallow some of the powder. Take another sip of water and keep repeating the steps until I swallow all the powder. Then I pour the rest of the scoop under my tongue, and repeat. I breath gently and don't take any deep breaths while I'm doing this to avoid having any dry powder get mixed into my breath.When I first started taking it, I did the above steps, but I started with just a teaspoon of powder at a time. Now, I can pour in a whole scoop if I want and take sips of water to get it all down.  Read Less
