The evidence in words
How much to take
Not needed for healthy trainees. Clinical and gut-health uses (5–15 g/day) belong under guidance.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for L-Glutamine; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
It fuels rapidly-dividing gut and immune cells and supports intestinal barrier integrity. In health, the body makes plenty, so extra supplementation has little to act on.
Bottom line
Skip it if you're a healthy lifter — protein intake already covers you. It's a clinical-nutrition tool, not a physique supplement.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
