What is L-glutamine?

L-glutamine is an amino acid found in a proportionally high amount in the body compared to other amino acids. Scientists consider L-glutamine to be a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning its intake is not normally required in the diet.

L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in blood plasma and a major transporter of nitrogen. It is an important precursor for protein synthesis, and it supports cellular functions of all types. L-glutamine is also a precursor of L-glutamate (an amino acid involved in energy metabolism).

How does L-glutamine support health? 

• Assists in the process of exercise recovery and helps maintain nitrogen/ammonia balance for better muscle metabolism.*
•  Helps maintain normal function of the entire gastrointestinal tract.*
•  Under physiological stress, L-glutamine may have to be supplied by diet to maintain normal gut, liver, immune and muscle function.*
