HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gluta-Lyn 1500 Powder 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 Powder contains one active ingredient: glutamine (in the form GlutaLean®), an amino acid your body makes naturally and uses for immune function, gut health, and muscle recovery. Each serving delivers 1,500 mg of glutamine in powder form.

There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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, sports endurance, muscle protein synthesis.
  • 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 Exercise-induced muscle damage.

Glutamine is effective for sickle cell disease. For HIV/AIDS-related wasting, postoperative recovery, and critical illness from trauma, it's rated possibly effective—meaning the evidence suggests it may help, but it's not definitive.

The data we hold doesn't cover other conditions this product might be marketed for.

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. The most common side effects from oral use are belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, headache, gastrointestinal pain, cough, and musculoskeletal pain.

A small number of trial participants taking high doses (10–30 grams daily) reported these GI effects. Dizziness and headache have also been reported, and two people with bipolar disorder developed mania or hypomania, though these are rare.

If you have kidney or liver disease, use this only under medical supervision. There isn't enough safety data to recommend it during breastfeeding unless your doctor advises it.

Glutamine is rated likely safe in pregnancy, but talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting 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.

Before you take this, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use anticonvulsant medications (seizure drugs). Glutamine might theoretically interfere with how these drugs work, though it hasn't been observed in actual 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.

If you have sickle cell disease, glutamine is worth considering. If you're recovering from surgery or dealing with critical illness or HIV-related wasting, the evidence suggests it may help—but it's not proven.

If you take anticonvulsant medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Watch for stomach upset, especially at higher doses.
