Glutamine
MusclePharm
Overview
MusclePharm Glutamine provides a standard dose of glutamine, which is beneficial for individuals with compromised gut health or in catabolic states. However, for the general healthy athlete seeking enhanced muscle growth or recovery, the evidence for significant impact at this dosage is limited. Clinical benefits seen in research (e.g., gut barrier function, burn patient recovery) typically require much higher daily doses (30+ grams), making the 5g serving likely insufficient for those specific outcomes.
The Good
Contains 5g of glutamine per serving, a common dose found in supplements.
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid known to support immune and gut health.
May aid in recovery of glutamine levels after intense exercise.
The Bad
Likely underdosed for gut barrier and clinical benefits
No clear benefit for healthy athletic performance
Lack of specific information on glutamine forms in the "Glutamine Blend"
Is it for you?
