L-Glutamine Granules
I'm taking G-Mune, by Cipla as my protein suppliment. Each 15 gm sachet contains L-glutamine USP (10gm). It's not clear what the other 5 gms consist of.
I live in India and am supposed to ingest 3 sachets a day. Does anyone have any idea what L-glutamine USP is? How many grams of protein is in the sachet. It's not written on the packaging.
I just want to make sure i'm getting enough protein.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rani,
I looked up Cipla's website and was unable to find information w/ a nutritional breakdown of G-mune. Is that an abbreviation? I'm really curious to see what the 5gm could be?
L-Glutamine is a naturally occuring, non-essential amino acid found mainly in our skeletal muscles and blood. It becomes essential or "needed" during times of injury or illness. Based on the info you provided it sounds like you are receiving 10gm of actual L-glutamine per sachet or packet 3x/day.
Please let me know if there's a longer name for this product.
Good luck!

Thanks much! I'm equally curious. Does that mean I'm only getting 10 gms protein per packet? If that's the case, then i'm not getting enough protein and should be doubling up the packets. They're having me take 3 packets a day.
Is this a good (advisable) source of protein?
I will call the dietician on MOnday and inquire more about this product.
Thanks,
Veronica
