HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cravings by Get At The Roots Weight Loss

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 23, 2026

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 makes naturally and uses for immune function, gut health, and muscle recovery. The capsule itself is made from plant material (vegetable capsule).

Does it work?

Strong 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Glutamine's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Glutamine for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sickle cell disease — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: HIV/AIDS-related wasting — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Critical illness (trauma) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Postoperative recovery — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Pancreatitis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The data we hold shows L-glutamine is effective for sickle cell disease. It's rated possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting, recovery after surgery, and recovery from critical illness or trauma.

There's no effectiveness rating in our data for weight loss or cravings specifically.

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.

L-glutamine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults. Common side effects include belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting — especially at higher doses (10–30 grams daily).

A small number of people have reported dizziness or headache. Very rarely, people with bipolar disorder taking glutamine have developed mania or hypomania.

If you have kidney or liver disease, use only under your doctor's supervision. There isn't enough safety data to recommend supplemental glutamine doses during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor advises it — talk with them before taking it while 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.

Check your anticonvulsant (seizure) medications before starting — glutamine might theoretically reduce how well they work, though this hasn't been reported in people yet. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether it's safe to combine.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is a single-ingredient supplement for people interested in L-glutamine's effects on wasting or post-surgical recovery, though weight loss and cravings aren't established uses in our data. If you take a seizure medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Talk it over with your own healthcare provider to see if it fits your situation.
