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 the human bloodstream. Glutamine is critical for a wide variety of essential functions, including optimal operation of the kidneys, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, the small and large intestines and the brain. However, it is best known for boosting immunity, helping to heal the gut lining and enhancing muscle growth.
Since L-glutamine is depleted by intense exercise, it is an important component of sports nutrition. Â
