User questions & answers

Question:	Where are the peas grown? ie: what is the country of origin? Where are the peas processed into protein powder? Is it organic
Answer:	I received this from NOW Foods, processed in China Using American and Canadian yellow Peas.
Question:	Product is made in China
Answer:	The tub says: Product of China. Packaged in the USA.
Question:	Why does your add say, "Whey protein has the highest protein." I don't want whey, I want pea protein
Answer:	The description on Amazon does have the statement about whey. My guess is someone at Amazon entered the wrong info. Per the container this is 100% Pure, Non-GMO Pea Protein isolate from yellow peas. Also I can tell you I like peas but detest split pea soup. I had to play around with the amount of this powder to use so I didn't feel like I was drinking pea soup. From that, I know this is pea protein. Hopes it helps.
Question:	What is the source for this? Are the peas organic? Are these peas from China
Answer:	I was told that the peas are grown in the US and Canada but the product is processed in China. Now foods tests the product before and after the processing for metals, etc. Call Now if you have any doubt because of all these confusing answers! I did and I'm going to buy the product because they were helpful and answered all my questions, the phone number is 888-669-3663 and select Nutrition, I spoke to a very knowledgeable person

Product description

Amino acids are the building blocks for all proteins, making them essential for a number of body functions, including fluid balance, enzyme production, cellular repair and energy metabolism. Amino acids also provide a readily available form of nitrogen, a critical element that forms various compounds such as neurotransmitters and creatine. In humans, protein is composed of 20 amino acids, only some of which the body is able to produce. Those that need to be obtained from exogenous sources are referred to as the essential amino acids. Pure Encapsulations' Essential Aminos formula is based on the ratios of essential amino acids from high biological value (BV) protein sources. Proper intake of these amino acids is important for the synthesis, repair, and metabolism of muscle, cells, and tissues.*

• Muscle/Tissue Support: Essential Aminos contains a balanced ratio of essential amino acids in one dietary supplement for optimal support of protein synthesis and metabolism.*
• Protein Support: Amino acids are the building blocks for all proteins, making them essential for a number of body functions, including proper fluid balance, enzyme production, cellular repair and energy metabolism.*

Product description

NOW L-Glutamine Powder is a pure, free-form, non-essential, amino acid and is the highest grade available. Glutamine is considered to be a conditionally essential amino acid, which means that under certain circumstances, the body may require more Glutamine than it can produce. In the body, Glutamine functions as a major nitrogen transporter and is critical for the maintenance of healthy nitrogen balance.* Glutamine also acts as the primary fuel for the rapidly growing cells of the immune system and GI tract.* Natural color variation may occur in this product. Take 1 rounded teaspoon in juice, preferably between meals, 1 to 2 times daily as needed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product have a smell the way Bulk Supplements glutamine does
Answer:	Odorless, tasteless. I love this stuff and it's all I use because NOW makes pure products with no extras and fillers.
Question:	Where is this from? i see that now's creatine has been blocked bc of quality issues (it is from china
Answer:	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.
Question:	Is this product "flavorless" where I can mix it with my protein shake
Answer:	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.
Question:	what is the "L" in L-Glutamine
Answer:	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/ )

Product description

N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the dietary amino acid l-cysteine. NAC has a high affinity for lung tissue, which it supports through mucolytic and antioxidant action. NAC supports tissue levels of glutathione, a key component of the antioxidant defense system.*

• Lung Support: NAC provides powerful nutritional support to cells as an antioxidant, specifically supporting healthy lung functioning through its mucolytic and antioxidant action.*
• Free Radical Scavenger: N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine is a free radical scavenger and thus supports epithelial cell health and healthy cilia activity in the respiratory tract.*
• Antioxidant Supplement: NAC is also a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione, and supplemental NAC increases tissue levels of glutathione.*
• Pure Quality: Our supplements are made with only premium ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers and guided by our nutritional experts, then carefully manufactured and tested to verify their potency and purity.

User questions & answers

Answer:	The NAC product shipped directly from the company and not a third party vendor. They also sent a follow-up email too. The label states Pure Encapsulations is also the manufacturer.
Question:	Is this a 3 month supply
Answer:	It depends entirely on how much your doctor tells you to take. I only take one a day so it does last 3 months.
Question:	How does this taste if you break it open and put it in water? Thanks
Answer:	We have never done that and I'm not sure that it would be recommended. I'd check with your physician or pharmacist to see if there are any contraindications to digesting it in water outside of the capsule.
Question:	How does this taste if you break it open and put it in liquid
Answer:	My son, who is autistic, takes it this way. He is non-verbal so has never described the taste.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the exact calorie per serving? The label says 110 for 2 scoops but the info graphic says 90 calories per scoop. Which is it
Answer:	The calories per serving varies depending upon which type you purchase. Some of the sugar free varieties are 90-100 calories per serving.
Question:	How many servings in this size product
Answer:	14 servings in this container. Each serving is 2 scoops (120 calories/1.1 ounces)
Question:	One review said it has a lot of sugar. Does Biochem have sugar
Answer:	Biochem has ONE version that is sugar free, it has "keto" in its name, amazon product code is B0015QSU9Q The rest that I hae seen all list 6 g sugar under carbs, but I dont see an ingredient list for what sugar they use. Nancy (below) said it has stevia which is a natural sugar---not true. Stevia is a natural SWEETENER that has zero carbs, it is NOT a sugar. When they are required to list carb grams and sugar grams, stevia does not get counted as a sugar or a carb. So when it says it has 6 grams of carbs, that is NOT the stevia, it is some other form. There is some natural sugar in milk, but the whey protein is not that part of the milk. I dont know where these six grams of sugar come from.
Question:	is this cold treated
Answer:	Yes, it's ultrafiltered/microfiltered, which means cold-filtered (not heat-pasteurized).
