Amino acids, sometimes referred to as the building blocks of protein, are involved in many of your bodily functions. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in your body and is the preferred fuel source for many cells, especially intestinal and immune cells.
Normally, your body can make enough of this amino acid to sustain demand. However, during times of physical stress - such as intense exercise, illness, injury, infection, surgery or environmental stress - glutamine is brought to tissues in deficit as a greater demand is present in your body. Times like this may require glutamine supplementation.
By supporting the cells in your GI tract, glutamine in turn promotes a healthy intestinal barrier.
This not only promotes nutrient absorption but also a healthy immune system.
Poor intestinal barrier function can lead to a weakened immune system, toxins and bacteria escaping to your bloodstream, resulting in a greater risk for infections, allergic reactions and more.

During times of stress mentioned above, consider supplementing your diet with our glutamine. It’s important to support your body with what it needs to function optimally.
To get the most benefit from your supplements, consume a nutrient-dense diet full of low-glycemic foods while avoiding certain foods that cause inflammation, such as overly processed foods, dairy and gluten.
