Who should not take Glutamine supplements?Updated a year ago

While glutamine supplements are typically safe, there are situations where taking glutamine may not be appropriate. To stay on the safe side, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should avoid consuming glutamine supplements. Children should avoid supplementing glutamine, particularly in higher doses. 

If you have liver disease or bipolar disorder, it is advisable not to take glutamine supplements. People with seizures or monosodium glutamate sensitivity should also avoid glutamine. If you experience any side effects or negative reactions, discontinue use immediately and consult a GP (WebMD).
