L-glutamine powder - 500g

L-glutamine, simply explained, is an amino acid in the human body. Let’s recall: amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. We distinguish between essential and non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids can be produced by the body itself when it has all the necessary components. Non-essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet.
L-glutamine doesn’t fall neatly into either group but is a special case: a semi-essential amino acid. This means that the body can usually produce it on its own. However, there are challenging phases in life when the body’s demand increases, and it may lack the necessary building blocks in sufficient amounts. In these cases, additional intake through diet or supplements may be required.
Since it’s not always obvious when you’re in such a phase, many people choose to take a supplement regularly to easily increase their intake.

Who typically takes L-glutamine?

• Active individuals, especially those who do strength training, train intensively on a regular basis, and compete.
• People going through physically or mentally demanding phases.
• Protein-conscious individuals, who want to deliberately support their protein intake.

If you’re wondering: So what is glutamine then? It’s simply another name for L-glutamine. It’s not that there are L-glutamine, P-glutamine, and M-glutamine – there is only one glutamine. And it can be called either glutamine or L-glutamine.
By the way, there is also glutamic acid! But that’s actually something different. Glutamic acid is its own amino acid, which is non-essential. L-glutamine, however, is a derivative of glutamic acid, meaning it’s a modified form of it. So, in a way, the two are connected – which makes sense, given their similar names.

This amino acid is found in many foods – including both plant-based and animal products.
The best L-glutamine foods:

• Meat (beef, pork, …)
• Dairy products (cheese, …)
• Eggs
• Legumes (soybeans, peanuts, lentils, …)
• Grains (spelt, wheat, …)
• Vegetables (spinach, cabbage, beetroot, …)
• Nuts (almonds, walnuts, …)

By including these foods as part of a balanced diet, we naturally consume this amino acid. However, this is often not even necessary, since our body can also produce L-glutamine on its own. Still, there are times when you may want to give your body an extra boost of aminos, and then many people ask where L-glutamine is found in high amounts. These foods can then be added more frequently to your diet. Alternatively, many people turn to supplements, as they allow for a clearly dosed intake of the amino acid. This is especially true for vegetarians or vegans, since some L-glutamine-rich foods are of animal origin. Vegan supplements can be a good option here.

These supplements are usually available in powder and capsule form, with many people finding the powder more practical. The powder can be easily mixed and drunk – no more large, sticky, bad-tasting capsules. Our powder is neutral in taste and can be mixed into water or delicious juices or sodas.
One serving of Vetain’s L-glutamine powder equals 5 g.

L-glutamine is especially popular among fitness enthusiasts and is increasingly in demand.
But why is that? People associate this supplement with a variety of topics:

• Muscle building and training: In the sports community, it’s often discussed in connection with intense workouts.
• Gut and digestion: Some share personal experiences related to gut feeling and overall well-being.
• Immune system: It’s frequently mentioned in forums and conversations in this context.
• Stress & nerves: Some use it during challenging times.
• Recovery: Many integrate it into their personal routine after physical strain.

This shows: The most popular areas of application range from sports and recovery to general well-being. For some, L-glutamine is simply seen as a regular part of their personal nutrient routine, regardless of clearly proven effects.

L-Glutamine: How much per day?
How much glutamine you get from your diet depends on your individual eating habits. The recommended serving for our product is 1 slightly heaped teaspoon per day. This equals about 5 g of glutamine.

L-Glutamine: How to take it?
Simply stir the powder into 200 ml of liquid and drink it. You can dissolve it in water or mix it into another drink such as juice or lemonade. Make sure the powder dissolves completely, as small clumps can make it harder to drink.

As with all dietary supplements, side effects can theoretically occur with L-glutamine. However, these mostly happen in cases of overdose – so it’s best to stick to our recommended dosage. Possible side effects include digestive issues such as nausea or vomiting, as well as dizziness, headaches, or other symptoms. If you notice any of these, stop taking it for now and reach out to our customer service or your doctor.
