HelloPharmacist Scorecard of COR-Performance Glutamine Icy Blue Razz by Cellucor

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: L-glutamine, an amino acid your body produces naturally. Glutamine plays a role in immune function, gut health, and muscle recovery, and it's been studied in conditions like sickle cell disease, HIV/AIDS-related muscle wasting, recovery after surgery, and critical illness from trauma.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle recovery and protein synthesis after exercise.
  • We looked for evidence on: Exercise-induced muscle damage, Postoperative recovery, Athletic performance, Wound healing, muscle protein synthesis, post-workout recovery — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Postoperative recovery (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The evidence for glutamine is mixed and depends on what you're using it for. It's rated effective for sickle cell disease, but only possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting, recovery after surgery, and critical illness from trauma.

For other uses, the evidence isn't established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Glutamine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Glutamine is generally well tolerated by healthy adults when taken by mouth. The most common side effects are digestive: belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, gas pain, nausea, and vomiting — especially at higher doses.

Headache and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported. A small number of people with bipolar disorder taking glutamine supplements have reported mood changes (mania or hypomania), so if you have a history of bipolar disorder, talk with your doctor first.

People with kidney or liver disease should only use glutamine under medical supervision. The safety data for pregnancy and lactation is limited — there isn't enough information to know whether supplemental doses are safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Glutamine

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Glutamine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: seizure medications.
  • For scale: 50 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take anticonvulsant medications (seizure drugs), double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. Glutamine theoretically might reduce how well these drugs work, though this hasn't been reported in patients yet.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

COR-Performance Glutamine may be worth considering if you're recovering from surgery, dealing with critical illness, or managing HIV/AIDS-related muscle wasting — though the evidence is strongest for sickle cell disease. If you take seizure medication, or if you have kidney or liver disease, bipolar disorder, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist first before starting.

Is this safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether supplemental glutamine is right for you during pregnancy or while nursing — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
Can I take this if I have kidney or liver disease?
The data suggests you should only use glutamine under medical supervision if you have kidney or liver disease. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
What conditions is this actually proven to help?
