L-GLUTAMINE

Glutamine powder supplies the amino acid L-glutamine, which is important for the health of the immune system and the digestive tract.* In the gut it promotes the health and function of the mucosal cells for the body's normal repair processes.* L-Glutamine also supports optimal muscle growth and strength and has been shown to be particularly useful in helping to maintain muscle tissue, as it can be used as a substrate for protein synthesis and an anabolic precursor for muscle growth.*

Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take 3 grams (approx. 3/4 teaspoon) per day.

  • What's the difference between magnesium Bisglycinate and Magnesium Glycinate?

    In short: They’re the same thing. The terms are often used interchangeably in the supplement industry.

  • Will taking Magnesium Bisglycinate in the middle of the day make me drowsy?

    Magnesium bisglycinate is well-known for its calming properties, making it a popular choice for those looking to support relaxation and restful sleep. While it’s not a sedative, some individuals may feel more relaxed or slightly drowsy after taking it—especially if taken in the evening or when the body is deficient in magnesium. For that reason, many people prefer to take it at night.

  • What is magnesium bisgylcinate?

    Magnesium bisglycinate is a supplement that contains both magnesium and glycine. Magnesium bisglycinate contains two glycine molecules to each of the magnesium molecules, and has been shown to support stress responses, healthy digestion, muscle recovery, sleep, and more.

  • Are there any side effects to magnesium bisglycinate?

    Magnesium bisglycinate is generally well-tolerated and considered one of the gentlest forms of magnesium, especially on the digestive system. Most people don’t experience side effects, but as with any supplement, individual responses may vary.

    In some cases, especially at higher doses, magnesium can cause:

    • Mild digestive upset
    • Loose stools (though this is less common with bisglycinate compared to other forms like citrate or oxide)
