Too much glutamine?

[thequincunx5]

My whey hydrolysate has >7 g of glutamine per serving.
Can I have 4 servings (>28 g of glutamine) of that whey every day or is that too much glutamine?
I’ve heard it raises ammonia in blood serum at higher doses.

Thanks!

@thequincunx5 Maybe buy another protein and do half and half until you finish it?

@thequincunx5 If you look at the ingredients list and it shows glutamine, it is amino acid spiked. Which throws into question the actual protein content on the nutrition label.

Allegedly glutamine is safe up to 40g daily. And there are side effects for taking too much.

@asperd Peptide bonded glutamine is on the ingredient list

@thequincunx5 Show full label with ingridients. Or just what protein is it. It probably just a gluten... companies like to add gluten and claim it as glutamine peptide then. Cheap crap source of protein to lover cost ....

@lexymay21 Ingredients: Enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein isolate (from milk), peptide-bound glutamine (from hydrolyzed wheat proteins (gluten)), vanilla flavor, sweeteners (sucralose, acesulfame K)

@thequincunx5 Wheat/gluten. As I said

 

[thequincunx5]

@lexymay21 So that means the protein quality isn’t good?

@thequincunx5 Yes. They've added a cheaper powder, the glutamine, to increase the protein on the label.
