Glutamine readily passes the blood-brain barrier and is used as brain fuel in the form of glutamic acid. It has been studied for its effects on learning ability, the gastrointestinal tract, and as a growth hormone stimulant.* As the most prevalent amino acid in muscle tissue, glutamine is an important source of energy for athletes and it is utilized by the body for muscle repair, in addition L-Glutamine is important in the formation and preservation of muscle mass.
Glutamine supports tissue health and immune response.
What is glutamine?
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body.
Glutamine provides valuable nutrition for the gastrointestinal lining, brain and muscle.
The need for glutamine increases during times of stress or physical trauma and supplementation can be powerfully restorative.
Glutamine helps transport nitrogen and carbon between tissues, two
critical nutrients in human health. Certain immune cells, such as
neutrophils and monocytes, depend on glutamine for proper function.
Athletes report improved muscle recovery from glutamine. Because of
its special role in the brain, some practitioners recommend glutamine
along with other amino acids to support children and learning.
Glutamine is also a precursor for many other compounds and building blocks used within the body, such as other amino acids, glutathione, glucose and more.
What are amino acids?
Amino acids are components of protein; each amino acid is unique,
and they all have different purposes in human health. Some amino acids
are ‘non-essential’ because they are made in the body, and others are
‘essential’ and must come from diet.
Because there are times when the need for glutamine is greater than
what the body can produce, glutamine is considered a ‘conditionally
essential’ amino acid*.
