Sustamine
Also known as: Kyowa L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine Dipeptide, AlaGln Patent
Kyowa Hakko's patented dipeptide of alanine and glutamine, dramatically more soluble and gut-stable than free glutamine; improves hydration and recovery.
- Clinical dose
- 1 g sustamine improved hydration markers and endurance comparably to higher-dose glutamine (Pruna et al., 2016)
- Typical label dose
- 1–2 g/day

What it is & how it works
Cleaved by intestinal dipeptidases → delivers alanine and glutamine intact; bypasses gut glutaminase consumption; supports gut barrier and immune cell glutamine pool.
Dosage
The clinically studied dose is 1 g sustamine improved hydration markers and endurance comparably to higher-dose glutamine (Pruna et al., 2016).On labels you'll typically see 1–2 g/day.
What the research shows
EAA, intra-workout, and hydration products use Sustamine for its solubility and gut-stable glutamine delivery, free glutamine wastes most of the dose in the gut.
