What dosage of glutamine has been studied for immune support?

Clinical trials have used L-glutamine at doses of 5–30 g per day, depending on the clinical context. For exercise-related immune suppression, doses of 5–10 g per day are common. Higher doses are used in critical care settings under medical supervision.
