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.

Glutamimmune is a single-ingredient supplement: L-glutamine, an amino acid your body naturally makes and uses. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients in this product.

Glutamine plays roles in immune function, gut health, and muscle recovery, especially during times of stress or illness. This unflavored powder form lets you mix it into beverages or foods as you prefer.

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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Immune support and muscle recovery.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Oral mucositis, Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, Radiation-induced diarrhea, Postoperative recovery — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Glutamine is rated "Effective" for Sickle cell disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Critical illness (trauma), Postoperative recovery.
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance, Radiation-induced diarrhea.

The evidence supports glutamine as effective for sickle cell disease. It's rated possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting, postoperative recovery, and recovery from critical illness or trauma.

The strength of evidence varies by use, so talk with your doctor about whether it's the right choice for your specific situation.

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 are gastrointestinal — belching, bloating, constipation, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Headache and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported. A small number of people have experienced dizziness; one case resolved when the dose was reduced.

People with kidney or liver disease should use glutamine only under medical supervision. Pregnancy and lactation safety data are limited — the evidence rates it likely safe, but there isn't enough reliable data to be certain, so discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it while pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 this product, confirm with your doctor or pharmacist if you take anticonvulsant medications (seizure drugs). These interactions are moderate in severity and haven't been reported in patients yet, but glutamine's metabolite may theoretically work against how these drugs function.

The bottom line

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

Glutamimmune works for sickle cell disease and may help with HIV wasting, recovery from surgery, or critical illness — but the strength of evidence differs by use. It's generally well tolerated, though GI upset and headache are common.

If you take anticonvulsants or have kidney or liver disease, check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Talk it over with them to see if it's right for you.

Industry leading purification processes allow quicker absorption, faster bio-availability, proven consistency and unrivaled efficacy. Ajinomoto Co., Inc. is the global leader in production, sales and research of amino acids used for medical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, sports, nutrition and health industries.

Enviormental sustainability

100% plant fermentation

In situations of body stress, such as heavy exercise, viral or bacterial infections, the concentration of L-glutamine in the blood diminishes. Since L-glutamine is used as fuel by the rapidly proliferating cells of the immune system, oral intake of L-glutamine has been shown in clinical studies to have a beneficial effect on gut function and on many aspects of immune cell function. L-glutamine has also been shown in clinical studies to help reduce muscular inflammation after exercise and to reduce swelling following an injury. Ajinomoto Co., Inc. has been the world's leading producer of amino acids since 1956. Our amino acids are trusted for clinical research and used by medical doctors, hospitals, professional & Olympic athletes and professional health care facilities worldwide.
