Human Effect Matrix
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what supplements affect plasma glutamine
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more
evidence, the more we can trust the results.
|
Outcome |
Magnitude of effect
?
The direction and size of the supplement's impact on
each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
|
Consistency of research results
?
Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or
VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.

Very High See 2 studies |
Higher doses (0.09-0.2g/kg) of oral alanylglutamine appear to increase plasma glutamine, and when compared to glutamine itself this dipeptide is more bioavailable

Moderate See 2 studies |
Although acute usage does not appear to influence plasma glutamine, a week of high dose supplementation (0.18g/kg) has been noted to reduce glutamine concentrations slightly.
