What Is Glutamine?

It is an amino acid and plays many roles as protein in the body: immune function, intestinal health and muscle function.

L-glutamine is found in foods and supplements; Even though our body naturally produces it, you still need additional L-glutamine in certain conditions.



Foods VS Glutamine?

You can find Glutamine in foods such as beef, egg, milk, corn or white rice, however they contain low and varying amounts of protein and if you are in dairy free diet, non-GMO foods or a vegetable lover, you may not consume enough Glutamine per day.



What are the roles of L-Glutamine?

1) Muscle cell

While most amino acids are processed in the liver, glutamine metabolism in the muscle directly. Therefore,after intensive workouts or periods of physical stress, your body will require more glutamine to assist in muscle cell repair or restore plasma glutamine levels.

2) Digestive system health

Glutamine is crucial for a healthy intestinal mucosa, and may help to heal or maintain healthy gut. Several researches have proven that even a small amount of glutamine administration relieves leaky gut syndrome or Crohn’s disease.

2) The immune system

Glutamine is considered the preferred energy source in the intestinal system. In some studies, it has been shown that glutamine protects and heals the ‘leaky gut’, and may prevent toxins and bad bacteria to pass into blood stream, which causes inflammation and increased immune responses.

While you are suffering from an illness or injury, your body may not be able to produce enough Glutamine, so consuming Glutamine supplements helps support immune system health.
