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 gut health, immune support, and muscle repair. The powder form makes it easy to mix into drinks or food.

Silica is listed as an inactive ingredient (a flow agent to keep the powder from clumping).

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 repair for athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Postoperative recovery, Wound healing, muscle protein synthesis, strength gains.
  • 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.

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

The evidence supporting these uses comes from clinical studies, but more research would strengthen what we know.

  • 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. The most common side effects from oral use are digestive: belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain.

Headache and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported. Very rarely, dizziness has occurred, and a couple of cases of mania or hypomania have been reported in people with bipolar disorder taking high doses.

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

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is appropriate for your situation.
