Supports tissue recovery, intestinal support and immune response.*

Glutamine Powder is an efficient way to consume gram quantities of glutamine when desired.

What is glutamine?

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. It is stored in skeletal muscle and released into blood as needed.

Research indicates glutamine is particularly important for gastrointestinal lining, the brain, and immune cells. It has been shown to aid in tissue maintenance and repair, especially for the cells of the gastrointestinal tract.*

What does it do?

Glutamine provides vital nutrition and promotes tissue restoration and maintenance.*

Glutamine is a valuable transporter of 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.*

The demand for glutamine increases during times of stress or physical trauma.*

During these times, the need for glutamine can become greater than what the body can produce and supplementing with glutamine can reduce or slow muscle glutamine depletion.*

The gastrointestinal tract has a special need for glutamine. Glutamine provides fuel for gastrointestinal cells, and emerging research suggests additional benefits.*

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*

Some healthcare practitioners recommend glutamine along with other amino acids to support cognition. Athletes report improved muscle recovery from glutamine.*

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 able to be 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*.

Four to 40 grams of glutamine supplemented throughout the day have been used in clinical trial research.
