L-glutamine for gut health: what Australian food law lets us say
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. Sold as a food in Australia, it has no pre-approved health claim. A company can only make one if it holds its own systematic review and notifies Food Standards Australia New Zealand. We have not done that, so we claim nothing for it. If another product does, ask where the claim comes from.
Glutamine in everyday foods
Glutamine occurs naturally in meat, poultry and fish, eggs and dairy, legumes and tofu, cabbage, spinach and beetroot, wheat and nuts. A varied diet supplies it. Our powder is the isolated amino acid on its own.
Glutamine supplement for gut health: powder or capsules
A capsule holds about half a gram. Our 5 g serve would take around 10 capsules. Powder is also cheaper per serve because you are not paying for capsule shells. Capsules are easier to travel with, and that is the fair case for them.
L-glutamine powder for gut health: serve and mixing
Stir one heaped teaspoon (5 g) into water, juice, a smoothie or yoghurt, or through food once it has cooled. There is no set time of day. Follow the serve on your pack.

| 2 pack | $63.00 | 120 | $0.53 |

| 4 pack | $99.00 | 240 | $0.41 |
Pairing glutamine with fibre
Glutamine is an amino acid, not a fibre, so it carries no fibre claim. If fibre is what you are after, compare our fibre supplements for gut health.
L-glutamine questions
Is glutamine an approved gut health claim?
No. There is no pre-approved health claim for glutamine in Australian food law, so we make none.
How much is in a serve?
Our label serve is 5 g, one heaped teaspoon. A 300 g jar holds 60 serves.
What does it taste like?
Very little. It is unflavoured and fine milled, so it mixes into water or juice without changing the taste much.
Is L-glutamine the same as glutamine?
Yes, for supplements. L-glutamine is the form found in food and the form sold as a powder.
