Stress Management and Immunity Boosting Intestinal Permeability Immune Function Cell Growth and Differentiation Anabolic Activity Alcohol Cravings Muscle Recovery L-glutamine is one of the 20 fundamental amino acids involved in protein synthesis. It is also the most abundant, forming approximately one-fifth of the amino acid pool in human blood. Glutamine is an essential amino acid for many vital functions, including the optimal functioning of the kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, small and large intestine, and brain. However, it is better known for boosting immunity, helping heal the intestinal wall, and promoting muscle growth. The importance of L-glutamine for optimal immunity is twofold: it directly supports the immune system during times of stress through its ability to help produce glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant. It also indirectly promotes immunity by reducing intestinal permeability or "sieve gut," preventing undigested particles from entering the bloodstream and potentially triggering an immune response. L-glutamine stimulates the production of human growth hormone (hGH), also essential for building muscle and maintaining youthful cellular function. Since L-glutamine stores are quickly depleted during intense physical activity, it is an important component of sports nutrition. Individuals exposed to excessive stress, suffering from leaky gut, or with weakened immunity can benefit from L-glutamine, as well as those looking to increase muscle mass and improve post-workout recovery. AOR's L-Glutamine provides an effective dose of this important nutrient to prevent problematic low levels and improve overall health. It is available in capsule and powder form for your convenience.
