L-glutamine in unflavoured and flavoured powders and in capsules, for gym-goers who include it in their training routine. Choose 10X Athletic GLUT+ micronised powder, FA ICE Glutamine with its cooling flavour, Trec L-Glutamine Powder 450g, or Trec L-Glutamine Micronized T6 capsules with taurine and vitamin B6.
L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and a long-standing part of many training routines, usually taken after a session or before bed. It carries no authorised health claim, so we do not promise results. Where a formula adds a vitamin, that vitamin's claim applies: vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
"Micronised" means the powder is milled extra fine so it disperses more easily; the amino acid itself is the same.
Glutamine is often taken alongside creatine and protein. If you can only buy one tub, note that creatine has an authorised claim: it increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, with the benefit obtained from a daily intake of 3 g. LEVRONE also makes Gold Glutamine 300g with 5 g L-glutamine and vitamin B6 per serving. For BCAAs, EAAs and other single aminos, see Amino Acids.
L-glutamine is the most common amino acid in muscle, but it has no authorised health claim in the UK. People take it as part of their training nutrition routine rather than for a specific promised effect.
Unflavoured powder such as 10X GLUT+ is almost tasteless and disappears into a shake or juice. Flavoured FA ICE Glutamine is designed to be drunk on its own with cold water.
They contain the same amino acid. Capsules are pre-measured and travel well, while powder is cheaper per gram and easier for larger servings.
Yes. Unflavoured glutamine is commonly stirred into a protein shake, and it can be taken alongside creatine. Keep to the serving on each label.
At a 5 g serving, a 300 g tub gives 60 servings, so about two months at one serving a day. Check the label of each product for its own serving size.
