Today was actually the first day that I mixed it in plain water and drank it while i lifted weights in the gym. Up until this point, I would put it occasionally in my protein shakes, which is counter productive since there is already glutamine in the protein powder (pea protein)

So, from here on out I'm going to be more consistent with the glutamine w/ plain water during workouts and I'll let you know how it goes @ vegansara.
