L-Glutamine for Women: What It Is, Powder vs. Capsules, and How to Take It

Short answer: L-glutamine is an amino acid. Your body makes it, and you also get it from protein foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy and beans. Wellah L-Glutamine comes two ways: a flavored powder with 5g per scoop (50 servings), and capsules with 800mg per capsule (200 servings).

What is L-glutamine?

L-glutamine is one of the amino acids, the building blocks of protein. It is found naturally in protein-rich foods. As a supplement, it comes as a powder you mix into a drink or as capsules.

Wellah L-Glutamine powder vs. capsules

  • L-Glutamine powder: 5g of L-glutamine per scoop, 50 servings per container. Mix 1 scoop with 6-10 oz of water or your favorite drink. Flavors include Blue Hawaii, Strawberry Lemonade and Peach Mango, plus unflavored.
  • L-Glutamine capsules: 800mg of L-glutamine per capsule, 200 servings per bottle. Take 1 capsule daily with water. No mixing.

The powder gives you more L-glutamine per serving and a flavored drink. The capsules are a smaller amount in a form you can take anywhere.

How do you take it?

Follow the label. For the powder, mix one scoop with 6-10 oz of water once a day. For the capsules, take one capsule a day with water. Pick a time you will remember, such as with breakfast or with your post-workout drink. Taking it at the same time each day is the easiest way to stay consistent.

Can I try the flavors first?

Yes. The L-Glutamine Variety Stick Packs have 30 single-serve sticks across 6 flavors with 5g per stick, and the L-Glutamine Sample Pack includes a shaker bottle.

Who should check with a doctor first?

Talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant or nursing, take medication, or have a medical condition. This matters most if you have a kidney or liver condition, since amino acid supplements may not be right for everyone.
