search tips on l-glut

[twinsmommy]

I know I saw a thread on how much l-glut is ok, but searching for it just pulls up zillions of threads. Anyone know how much is ok? I know you can take moe than the bottle says but I don't want to over do it. But I REALLY want to make it through these next couple days.
I know if I can get some AF days under my belt things will get better. I am having a little trouble today. Not a lot but a little.

twinsmommy, you can't take enough to cause a toxic overdose according to the research I've seen. which is good. not many supps are that safe.

my recomendation for a craving is to immediately dump a rounded teaspoon (or two) of powder-form LG into a small amount of juice and swig it. distract yourself for 15 minutes and voila....relief.

as a maintenance dose I'd take at least one teaspoon per day. then take those extra shots when needed for cravings.

be sure to eat snacks that have protein in them too...big help. nuts, cheese, meats etc.

let us know how your doing and hang in there!

also...if what you have on hand is the little capsules break one under your tongue and hold it for a bit. members have reported that helping them quickly as well.

well I don't have powdered L-glut but I do have the capsules. I kept having the thought "is it better to deprive myself and possibly binge or maybe have just one glass of wine later tonight." So I went and grabbed a cpsule and broke it open. Alas I could not get the powder out! I ended up spilling a little down my shirt and looking like another kind of addict LOL!!! So I stuck the broken capsule under my tongue and when that didn't work just gulped it down w/some water. That was quite a bit for today but i am feeling better now, thanks for the advice. I am going to go buy my kids some new clothes and try to figure out something for dinner since I have stopped stewing about wine.

I have the MWO capsules for travel and at home I use the bulk powder. they have it at walmart in the section of the store with protein powder. like 9 bucks for a big jug of it.
glad your feeling better!

TM, good that you are using L-Glut. I noticed that you said:

I kept having the thought "is it better to deprive myself and possibly binge or maybe have just one glass of wine later tonight."

Just a caution: your mind will come up with ALL KINDS of arguments like this one, and ones that are even crazier. You have a CHOICE as to whether or not to participate in the arguments your mind dishes out! If you choose to participate... then you are putting yourself at great risk. Better to gently distract yourself. Get out of your head... and into your LIFE.

Definitely, what WIP said. I take 3000mg L-Glut a day in capsule form. I have not been able to find the bulk powder yet. They do not have it at my local Walmart. When the cravings are intense, I open a capsule and pour half of it under my tongue. I was amazed at how well it works. I have also read that it is very safe, which is great news.

During my first days AF I was doing the L-Glut under my tongue every few hours. My daughter asked me a question right after I poured my "vitamin" under my tongue. I said "huh?" and white powder "poofed" out of my mouth like magic!
She still thinks that was cool and laughs about it when she sees me pouring my vitamins in. She just has no idea how much it helped us both, she got her mommy back
Wishing you much success with it!:h

I put 1000mg under my tongue once or twice a day and I'm still alive.

OK-- you buy the bulk powder stuff, and you mix 6,7,8 grams of it with a half cup water and down it on an empty stomach. Just do it. It won't hurt you. It might even help you.
