Product Information

Glutamine 500 is a pure source of the conditionally essential amino acid glutamine. Amino acids play a multitude of roles in the chemistry of our bodies. They are the essential building blocks of all protein-based tissues and are also required for the creation of digestive enzymes and key molecules, such as hemoglobin and the hormones insulin, thyroxin and epinephrine. Glutamine is perhaps the body’s most versatile amino acid. It is the most abundant amino acid present in muscle tissue and thus essential for healthy skeletal and cardiac muscle function. Glutamine also plays a unique role in promoting the healthy mucosal lining and barrier function of the intestines and digestive system. Glutamine also plays a special role in the liver, kidneys and throughout our body by promoting nitrogen balance and acid-base balance. Glutamine also represents an important energy source for specialized cells of the nervous and immune systems. Most importantly, glutamine is one of only three amino acid building blocks of glutathione, our body’s most powerful, internal, protective compound. In short, glutamine’s long list of critical functions has made it one of the most popular amino acids to supplement. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
