L Glutamine is a building block for proteins that maintain cellular health and tissue repair. During critical illness, trauma, intestinal disease, starvation, excessive loss of lean body mass, or extreme endurance exercise, glutamine is shown to be beneficial thanks to it's key role in the process of regenerating new, healthy epithelial cells in the GI mucosa lining.
L-Glutamine is so important to gut health that low concentrations are linked to gut permeability and inflammation. This makes its supplementation an important part of resolving leaky gut because it’s the preferred food of the cells lining the gut wall so it helps with their growth and repair; it's these new cells that are the key in repairing the intestines and eliminating leaky gut. It also helps maintain the right pH balance.
In human health glutamine is reported to typically start to show effects within 30 days, with the gut lining repaired in around 12-weeks.
Glutamine also effectively works in synergy with NAC to help promote glutathione.
Next up, N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) , the precursor to glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, which helps protect the body from damage to cells caused by free radicals. NAC is arguably the most powerful antioxidant in the body as it replenishes glutathione production.
We also include Marshmallow Root , used as a remedy for centuries to treat digestive conditions. It can help in the repair of leaky gut as it actively promotes the growth of intestinal cells with research showing promise in its antioxidant properties and gastroprotective effects for ulcers.
