Glutamine:
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning under certain conditions, such as injury or extreme exercise fatigue, your body may require major nitrogen transporter, which is critical to maintaining a healthy nitrogen balance, a key factor in the muscle building process.
Glutamine is essential to gut & immune health. Among the various tissues using Glutamine at high rates, the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract utilizes about 30% of total Glutamine; where it plays a key role in maintaining intestinal barrier function, modulation of inflammation, and regulating stress responses and apoptosis. Recent studies have shown the critical link between GI health and healthy immune function.
