Everything you need to know before getting started.



Take 1 capsule between meals, 1–3 times daily. The most important time is immediately post-workout, when glutamine levels are at their lowest and your body's demand for repair is highest.
Glutamine is the primary fuel for the cells lining your intestinal wall. Hard training — especially in heat — can damage this lining and lead to GI distress. Supplementing with glutamine strengthens the mucosal barrier, helping reduce gut problems during and after exercise.

Supplementing post-exercise supports healthy immune cell function and has been associated with reduced self-reported illness in marathon and ultra-marathon runners.
Free-form means the glutamine isn't bound to other amino acids, so it's immediately available for your body to absorb and use. This is the most efficient form for supplementation.
