Weight gain and pain: If you have new symptoms after starting this supplement, which are comparable or worse than the problem you started the supplement for, then stopping would be a good idea.

Glutamine powder: is supposed to help improve your immune system health but there is no scientific studies proving that it works and at what dosage. So people tend to think if 1 gram helps, 1 kg of it must help 1000 times. Of course it doesn't work like that, but there is no actual guide in how much is enough. So people get fooled into buying large amounts of this supplement without having a clue how to take it.
