Can You Take BPC-157 and L-Glutamine Together?

May affect absorption

The short answer

BPC-157 is a peptide that competes with L-Glutamine for intestinal peptide and amino acid transporters. Taking them together may reduce the absorption efficiency of both.

How to arrange timing

Separate BPC-157 and L-Glutamine by at least 1 hour. Take BPC-157 on an empty stomach for best absorption.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
