★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
L-Glutamine Capsules give you the amino acid the gut lining uses as fuel, on its own. Each capsule provides 400mg of L-glutamine and you take two capsules three times a day before meals. One pot holds 100 capsules, which lasts about 16 days at that amount.
Benefits of taking L-glutamine
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in your body and the main fuel for the cells that line your gut and for immune cells. Your body makes it, but demand rises under stress, after illness and after hard training, which is when people top it up.
- Your gut lining gets the fuel its cells run on.
- Immune cells get the amino acid they use most.
- Recovery after hard training gets a steady supply of glutamine.
- Daily amounts build up across meals, two capsules at a time.
Who benefits
L-Glutamine Capsules are most useful for:
- People taking glutamine for gut support, who want it to reach the gut lining before food arrives.
- Anyone recovering from illness or a hard block of training, when demand for glutamine rises.
- Those who want to build a moderate daily amount across meals without measuring powder.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 400mg of L-glutamine. There is nothing else in it apart from the vegetable capsule shell. Free form L-glutamine and Gln are other names for it.
How to take it
Take two capsules three times a day, 20 to 30 minutes before eating, so the glutamine reaches the gut lining before food arrives. For sports recovery take four capsules twice a day, one dose after exercise and the other before a meal, which gives 3,200mg a day.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
Is glutamine the same as glutamate?
No. L-glutamine is the amino acid, while glutamate is a different compound and the flavouring in monosodium glutamate, so the two are not interchangeable.
How much glutamine should I take a day?
Take two capsules three times a day, which gives you 2,400mg. For sports recovery, four capsules twice a day gives 3,200mg.
When is the best time to take glutamine?
Twenty to thirty minutes before meals, so it reaches the gut lining first. After exercise is the other time, if you take it for recovery.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. For the gut it is often taken as part of a wider routine with a probiotic such as Combocillus Probiotic Capsules. Recovery is where it sits alongside Unflavoured Whey Protein Isolate Powder, which gives your muscles the protein they need to grow and stay strong.
Does glutamine have side effects?
Glutamine is an amino acid your body makes and is well tolerated at these amounts.
Capsules or powder?
Powder is the cheaper way to take the 5g and upward amounts used in gut and recovery routines. These capsules give 400mg each, which suits people building a moderate amount across meals without measuring.

Frequently asked questions
How does Glutamine support gut health?
Glutamine supports gut lining integrity and digestive function.
How long until I notice improvements?
Initial improvements within 1-2 weeks. Full soothing takes 2-3 months.
Can I take this with other gut supplements?
Yes, gut support often works best as part of a protocol.
How should I take this?
As the label directs, with food unless the label says otherwise. If you have a diagnosed digestive condition or take prescribed medicines, talk to your GP or pharmacist first.
How do I know if I have gut issues?
Bloating, irregular bowels, food sensitivities, skin issues, and fatigue can all indicate gut dysfunction.
L-glutamine capsules or powder, and is glutamine the same as glutamate?
L-glutamine is the amino acid; glutamate is a different compound and the flavouring in monosodium glutamate, so the two are not interchangeable. Glutamine is sold as one form, so the choice is between powder and capsules. Powder is the cheaper way to take the 5 g and upward doses used in gut and recovery protocols and dissolves in water; these capsules give 400 mg each, which suits people building a moderate amount across meals without measuring.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
