HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gluta-Lyn 1500 by Sci-Fit

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 30, 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.

Gluta-Lyn 1500 contains one active ingredient: glutamine (in the form GlutaLean®). Glutamine is an amino acid that your body uses for muscle and gut function, and it's especially relevant during recovery from surgery, critical illness, or conditions like sickle cell disease and HIV-related muscle wasting.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—gelatin (the capsule shell), maltodextrin, and magnesium stearate—which are standard excipients.

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 athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Postoperative recovery, Wound healing, Critical illness (trauma), muscle protein synthesis — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Critical illness (trauma) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Postoperative recovery.
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.

The evidence for glutamine is strongest for sickle cell disease, where it's rated effective. For HIV-related muscle wasting, postoperative recovery, and critical illness from trauma, the evidence is rated possibly effective—meaning there's some support but it's not definitive.

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 in healthy adults when taken by mouth. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: belching, bloating, constipation, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.

Headache and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported. At higher doses (10–30 grams daily), these GI symptoms are more likely.

Two cases of mania or hypomania have been reported in people with bipolar disorder taking up to 4 grams daily. If you have kidney or liver disease, use only under medical supervision.

Pregnancy safety is rated likely safe. However, there isn't enough reliable data on safety during breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether to use it while 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.

Before taking Gluta-Lyn 1500, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take anticonvulsant medications (drugs that prevent seizures). Glutamine might theoretically reduce how well these drugs work, though this hasn't been reported in actual patients yet.

It's important to confirm your specific medications won't be affected.

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.

Gluta-Lyn 1500 may be worth considering if you're recovering from surgery, dealing with critical illness, or managing sickle cell disease or HIV-related muscle loss—though the evidence is stronger for some conditions than others. If you take anticonvulsant medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

Most people tolerate it well, but GI side effects are common, especially at higher doses.
