Does the job, wish it was unflavored
Overall, it does the job and absorbs really well. The only downside is that it doesn't taste great at all, give whatever you put it in a strong plastic taste or something like that

Causes anxiety in some individuals.
I'm sure this works for other people but please use with caution. I didn't know it can cause anxiety and it gave me an awful panic attack that I had to go to the hospital for.

Great Product for Senior Dogs and Cats
my holistic vet recommended an l-glutamine supplement for my senior dogs who are starting to lose muscle mass, and one of them also has acid reflux/tendency for stomach ulcers. I've started using it with my cats as well. It isn't working miracles by any means, but I definitely think it is helping with muscle tone and has helped my one with her reflux. This is a very good value for this product and I will be buying it again.
