Can You Take Dihexa and L-Glutamine Together?

May affect absorption

The short answer

Dihexa is a hexapeptide analog that competes with amino acids like L-Glutamine for peptide and amino acid transporters in the intestine. Taking them together may reduce absorption of both.

How to arrange timing

Take Dihexa on an empty stomach, separated from L-Glutamine and other amino acid supplements by at least 1 hour.

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.
