flexagon | Something positive, and a question

(Yes... this really is something positive, or at least cute, and it relates to something positive).

I forgot to mention that, as a result of me whining that I no longer had a big floppy sleep-T, HLM bought me a huge pink Choo Choo Bear shirt earlier this week. It's very ummmmm, big and pink and silly and warm, and it says "MURR!". Never mind that it looks ridiculous. It's comfy and he bought it for me, so I'm going to wear it. :)

Now, fitness freaks: what do you think of this GlutaCell stuff? I need some more glutamine pretty soon and what this says sounds reasonable. I never have understood why I keep reading that L-glutamine degrades into ammonia when exposed to moisture, but the usual way of taking it is still to mix it up with water and drink it. (The supplements seem to say nothing about how long you can keep it in liquid form... I have been keeping it mixed for a few hours sometimes and definitely feeling results, so it can't be totally degrading, but I can't say I understand why). At any rate, this stuff sounds good, and it certainly would not be bright orange and sucralose-flavored, but I thought I'd beg for advice anyway.

I just buy regular glutamine - whatever's the cheapest brand. I buy the biggest bottle I can at the time and I've never had a problem with it getting damp. It's tasteless and dissolves without a problem as long as you don't mix in ice cold water. I know a lot of people who just take it by the spoonful straight into their mouths. They say they want the full benefit as fast as possible and don't want it diluted! I'm afraid the thought of taking it like that makes me want to gag - not that I've ever tried it. I only ever mix it when I'm ready to drink it. I'd say if it has a taste or a smell, don't touch it, tho' that only works for the regular glutamine. I'm afraid I don't know how long it takes to start degrading.
The price of GlutaCell is pretty much the same as regular glutamine so I'd say, if that's what you want - then go for it.

Yeah, I know it should be tasteless... the orange sucralose bit was for the BetaGen HP, which tastes like Tang. I do think I'll try the GlutaCell, since it seems to be on the cheap end of things and might (or might not) be chemically better. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I will not be taking it dry, however. That's about the nastiest thing I've heard lately. And I would think, if anything, water would help carry it along down to the linings that most need to absorb it... :b

That's funny... hehehe.. choo choo was always such a squishy cat.

And all it has on it is choo choo's face, and the MURR!, so it really looks like he's absorbed me or something. :)

Unfortunately Randy is no longer selling the design, or I'd've given a link.

That's ok, I've seen it. Besides, I don't think I'd look good in a choo choo sleeper. :)

I do the same thing - plain powder, mix it right before taking it (I have a film canister I carry two doses in). If it were degrading to ammonia I think you'd be able to smell it. But if the gluta-cell stuff is the same price, then I don't see why not to try it.

Very cute little shirt there :)
