L Glutamine *Maintains cellular health and tissue repair, specifically noted for gut and joint health

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 cells.

Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, and being the most abundant amino acid found in muscle tissue, this means that hard work/training can significantly deplete the body’s levels. Glutamine is key to supporting muscle recovery and protecting the equine athlete during exercise. Hence why it's also such a popular supplement among (human) bodybuilders and weight trainers.

L-Glutamine is also 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, the body's natural master antioxidant.
