L-Glutamine Powder (500 g)

Description

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Although the body makes glutamine during times of extreme stress (such as after very intense exercise or an injury), in certain circumstances the body may need more glutamine than it can produce. Most glutamine is stored in the muscles, followed by the lungs, where much of the glutamine is produced. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (https://umm.edu.com), glutamine functions as an important compound for removing excess ammonia (a common waste product in the body). It also assists in immune system functions and appears to be necessary for normal brain function and digestion. Glutamine helps protect the gastrointestinal lining and is an important fuel for enterocytes. It also supports rapidly changing body tissues, such as intestinal cells (intestinal epithelium). High cortisol levels during times of stress can reduce glutamine stores in the body. L-Glutamine powder supplies 3g of L-Glutamine per teaspoon, as a non-hydrolyzed, free-form L-Amino Acid.
