Helps with muscle cell repair post-exercise and promotes gastrointestinal and immune system health*

L-glutamine is an amino acid that supports a healthy intestinal lining and immune function, and assists in healing after injury or surgery and in muscle cell repair.*

 

Evidence suggests supplemental L-glutamine benefits gastrointestinal health, supports wound healing, maintains immune health, and helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise.* L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is its greatest user. Various stress factors – such as trauma, infection, malnutrition, chemotherapy,

injury, and high-level athletic training – can adversely affect absorption in the small intestine, leading to food allergies. In numerous animal studies, the addition of L-glutamine improved absorption, as well as the gut's immune function.*

Skeletal muscles contain the greatest intracellular concentration of L-glutamine. But that concentration can be adversely affected by various insults, including injury, infection, chronic stress, malnutrition, and glucocorticoid use. Intense exercise lowers blood levels of glutamine, which can remain low if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery. Research indicates L-glutamine supplementation can offset these conditions.*

Thorne L

To be honest it’s really hard to know if it’s having an effect. How long should it take and what impacts it should have are not clear. I’m taking it as a ‘just in case’.

Thank you Dave...it will vary from person to person...hope it goes well

Feeling great

I started this supplement for my gut health, which I think is extremely important. However I also take VSL probiotic sachets, megasporebiotic capsules, prebiotic powder and collagen powder, so it’s hard to know whether the glutamine is doing it’s job per se. But my digestion and immune system have been great lately since being diligent with all these supplements.

Thank you so much Ellie...great to hear than your health has improved on these supplements
