Description Glutamine
The information in the FAQ section was created by the Liki24.fr team and is based on the official manufacturer's manual
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid, which means that the human body is able to synthesise it in sufficient quantities under normal conditions. However, during periods of intense physical stress, such as intense training or recovery from injury, the demand for this amino acid increases significantly. Glutamine plays a crucial role in maintaining nitrogen balance, stimulating protein synthesis, supporting the immune system and protecting the intestinal mucosa.
Forms of release
Glutamine is available in various pharmaceutical forms, each tailored to the specific needs of users:
- Capsules (GoldNutrition Glutamine 1000 mg or Adams Vision Glutamine 500 mg) – suitable for easy administration and precise dosing, in bottles of 90 capsules
- Powder (Glutamine Zero BioTech USA, 300 g) – preferred by athletes for rapid absorption and flexibility in dosing.
Indications for use
Glutamine capsules or powder are recommended for:
- Athletes and bodybuilders – contributes to muscle mass growth and reduces protein catabolism.
- People exposed to physical or mental stress – helps reduce the impact of stress on the immune system.
- Patients with gastrointestinal disorders – protects and repairs the intestinal mucosa.
- Recovery periods – accelerates recovery after surgery or trauma.
Dosage regimen
The recommended standard dosage varies depending on the purpose of use and the form of administration.
For GoldNutrition Glutamine 1000 mg, take 3 capsules per day, 2 after training and one before bedtime.
For Glutamine Zero powder, take one serving (2 measuring spoons) dissolved in 150 ml of water, preferably after training. On rest days, it is recommended to take it in the afternoon. The use of a shaker is recommended.
Contraindications
Glutamine powder or capsules are not recommended:
- People with liver cirrhosis, kidney failure or Reye's syndrome, due to the risk of excessive ammonia accumulation
- People with allergies to any of the ingredients in the supplements.
Special instructions
For athletes, the dose of Glutamine during training can be adjusted according to the intensity of the training and the level of oxidative stress in the body.
Taking Glutamine before bedtime can support night-time recovery.
Side effects
Although generally well tolerated, excessive use of Glutamine may lead to gastrointestinal disorders (bloating, cramps, diarrhoea) or dizziness.
Interactions with nitrogen metabolism may also occur in patients with liver or kidney disease.
Interactions with other medicines and foods
Glutamine may interact with certain medications, such as anticonvulsants, whose effect it may diminish.
It is recommended that you inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking concomitantly with Glutamine, especially in the case of medications for chronic diseases.
Overdose
Very high doses of glutamine can cause increased blood ammonia levels, severe digestive discomfort or metabolic imbalances that can affect liver and kidney function.
In case of overdose, stop administration and consult a specialist immediately.
Storage conditions
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, consume within 4 months. Keep out of reach of small children. Observe the expiry date stated on the packaging.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I take Glutamine during pregnancy?
No, taking L-Glutamine during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not recommended, as there are not enough studies to confirm its safety during these periods. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and considering taking Glutamine supplements, it is best to talk to a doctor before taking them.
Which is better - Glutamine or BCAA?
Both BCAA (branched-chain amino acids - leucine, isoleucine and valine) and Glutamine are popular supplements among athletes and active people, but each has a distinct role. The choice between BCAA or Glutamine depends on the desired goal.
BCAAs are essential for protein synthesis and preventing muscle breakdown, while glutamine supports recovery, immunity and gut health. If your main goal is to increase muscle mass, BCAAs are more effective, and for recovery and immune system protection, glutamine is more suitable. The two supplements can be combined for maximum benefits.
Which is better - Glutamine or Creatine?
Creatine and Glutamine have different roles: Creatine improves strength, performance and muscle mass growth by increasing ATP reserves, while Glutamine supports recovery, immunity and intestinal health.
If the goal is to increase muscle strength, Creatine is the better choice, and if you are looking for faster recovery, Glutamine is more suitable. For optimal results, many people choose to use them together.
