Basic Supplements Glutamine - Unflavoured, 300g (60 Serves)

Basic Supplements Glutamine is an unflavoured amino powder from Basic Supplements, in the Amino & BCAA range for anyone after a plain recovery staple. Each tub is dosed at one 5 g scoop per serving, delivering 5 g of micronised L-glutamine and 60 servings per 300 g tub. It suits lifters logging enough volume that recovery becomes the bottleneck, plus anyone wanting a gut-support amino that mixes into whatever they already drink. At $58.95 NZD it's an addition to an existing stack, not a centrepiece.

How Basic Supplements Amino & BCAA works

Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, found in high concentration in skeletal muscle and blood plasma. Under normal conditions the body makes enough to meet its own needs, which is why it is classed as conditionally essential rather than essential. That balance shifts under stress: heavy training loads combined with calorie restriction can push glutamine turnover faster than the body replaces it, which is when a dietary source like Basic Supplements Glutamine becomes relevant.

Beyond muscle tissue, glutamine fuels rapidly dividing cells, including the enterocytes lining the gut wall and the lymphocytes involved in immune response. That is the basis for its reputation as a recovery and gut-support amino rather than a muscle-building one, supporting repair work in the background rather than driving the muscle protein synthesis that comes from total protein and training. Basic Supplements Glutamine supplies the same micronised L-glutamine, measured out at 5 g per scoop.

Why choose Basic Supplements Glutamine

Basic Supplements Glutamine keeps its formula deliberately narrow. The nutrition panel lists one active ingredient, micronised L-glutamine, with no fillers, added sugar or artificial colours, which removes the guesswork if you are already stacking several products.

• Micronised for a finer particle size, so it disperses instead of clumping in liquid.
• A single 300 g tub holds 60 x 5 g servings, close to two months at one scoop a day.
• Powder format means it stirs into whatever drink you already have on hand.

Getting the most from it

Basic Supplements Glutamine works best as a support piece rather than a standalone plan. Being unflavoured, it disappears into whatever you are already drinking, so most people add it to an existing shake rather than mixing a separate glass. For a fuller recovery stack, browse the wider amino & BCAA range, or pair a scoop with a shake from the protein range on training days. Some stir it into a post-session mix from the creatine range, since neither changes the taste enough to notice. With one active ingredient, there is no stimulant interaction to plan around, so it fits wherever suits you.
