🧬 The active ingredient: L-Glutamine — what the evidence says

• L-Glutamine is a non-essential (conditionally essential) amino acid — the most abundant in the human body. It serves many roles: protein synthesis, nitrogen transport, immune cell function, gut mucosa health.

• For athletes / those lifting heavy: glutamine levels may drop after intense or prolonged exercise, and some believe supplementing may help recovery, reduce soreness, and reduce muscle breakdown.

• However: The evidence for very large performance/recovery benefits in healthy, well-fed, trained athletes is modest. Many studies show small effects; others show minimal to no effect when diet is adequate. Some Reddit commentary:

  “It’s not garbage, but it’s not particularly useful unless you have GI issues.” 

• For gut health: There is more plausible rationale (e.g., for gut lining repair, in states of stress, illness, or injury) but that doesn’t mean supplementing will necessarily transform results in all cases.
