I bought some L Glutamine today and I am wondering, is it meant to help with cravings? Alcohol and sugar? I read the label and it's talking about muscle repair? I'm confused.

L Glutamine?
Hi, 3June
It is used by body builders for muscle repair and growth but it also is useful for sugar and AL cravings. It works because the brain can use it for fuel (and that is where this whole mess has been going on!). Putting 1 or 2 capsules or ~1/8-1/4 tsp under your tongue and letting it dissolve generally works. It has been tested and found to be safe in gram quantities but high doses generally would not be needed. I also would not take many supplements if liver or kidney function was compromised without checking with a physician.
For me it was more useful for sugar than for AL but I've heard others report success for both.
Congratulations on all of your success this past month!
