During intense sessions, muscles can lose up to 50% of their glutamine stores, undermining recovery, immunity and gut health in the hours that follow. Mutant Glutamine replenishes those stores with 5g of 100% pure, vegan fermented, micronised L-glutamine per scoop — zero fillers, zero flavours, lab tested, 60 serves per 300g tub.

Free-form glutamine supplements replenish stores faster than the glutamine found in food because they don't require full digestion — they're absorbed directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — 100% plant-based vegan fermented glutamine, no animal by-products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it have any taste?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirtually none — it's genuinely one of the most neutral-tasting supplements available, which is why it disappears into any drink without affecting the flavour at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I take it on rest days?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — and you probably should. Glutamine's role in immune function and gut health is ongoing, not just post-exercise. Daily consistent use is more valuable than taking it only around training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does it compare to glutamine in GEAAR?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mutant-geaar-eaa\"\u003eMutant GEAAR\u003c\/a\u003e includes glutamine as part of its amino support blend. Standalone Glutamine is for athletes who want a higher dedicated glutamine dose on top of their EAA or BCAA product, or who want to stack it separately at specific times (like before bed) without taking a full EAA serve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mutant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44248071929945,"sku":"TMUM7113S","price":39.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1513\/5678\/files\/MutantGlutamine.png?v=1785288826","url":"https:\/\/topdognutrition.co.nz\/products\/mutant-glutamine","provider":"TopDog Nutrition","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
