Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Creatyl-L-glutamine is a compound that combines creatine and L-glutamine, two amino acid derivatives often marketed as sports nutrition supplements. Both creatine and glutamine, individually, have been studied for their potential roles in exercise performance and recovery. Creatine is well established as an ergogenic aid for high-intensity, short-duration exercise, with ample scientific support. L-glutamine has more limited evidence for exercise recovery, mostly in the context of immune support after prolonged endurance exercise, rather than direct performance enhancement.

However, specific research on the Creatyl-L-glutamine molecule itself is sparse. There are very few peer-reviewed studies directly investigating its efficacy or bioavailability compared to creatine or glutamine taken separately. Most claims for Creatyl-L-glutamine are extrapolated from studies on its individual components. Some manufacturers suggest that combining these molecules may improve absorption or effectiveness, but this remains unproven.

Overall, while there is scientific rationale based on the known effects of creatine and glutamine, there is a lack of direct clinical evidence for Creatyl-L-glutamine as a unique supplement for exercise support. The current evidence rating is low (2/5), reflecting the need for more targeted studies.
