L-glutamine is one of the 20 fundamental amino acids involved in protein synthesis. It is also the most abundant, forming about one fifth of the amino acid pool in human blood. Glutamine is an essential amino acid for many vital functions, including optimal functioning of the kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, small and large intestine and brain. However, it is best known for boosting immunity, helping to 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, which is the body's most powerful antioxidant. It also indirectly supports immunity by reducing intestinal permeability or "leaky gut", preventing undigested particles from entering the bloodstream and potentially triggering an immune response. L-glutamine stimulates the production of human growth hormone (hGH), which is also essential for muscle building, as well as maintaining youthful cell function. Since L-glutamine stores are quickly depleted during intense physical activity, it is an important component of sports nutrition.
People exposed to excessive stress, suffering from leaky gut or with weakened immunity can benefit from L-glutamine, as well as those who wish to increase their muscle mass and improve their post-workout recovery.
