L-Glutamine is a dietary supplement formulated to support muscle tissue, digestive health, and anti-alcoholism detox. L-Glutamine is available in capsules from Natura-Genics®.
How It Works
L-glutamine is an amino acid that is naturally produced in the body but can also be found in certain foods. It is a key building block for protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle health. The demand for glutamine in the body can often exceed its natural production due to high, prolonged stress, illness, or intense physical activity.
Due to its role as a building block of protein, glutamine is essential for muscle growth, recovery, and maintenance. L-glutamine seems to be especially effective in promoting muscle soreness relief and recovery after intense exercise.
The intestine utilizes about 30% of glutamine and is the primary source of fuel for cells lining the intestines. L-glutamine appears to have several functions in the intestine, which include assisting in maintaining nucleotide metabolism and intestinal barrier function, modulation of inflammation, and regulating stress responses and apoptosis.
Supports Healthy Lifestyle Choices
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that helps support balanced brain and metabolic function, which can be helpful for individuals looking to maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Some research and traditional wellness practices suggest that adequate levels of L-Glutamine may help support energy and metabolic stability, which can make it easier to manage occasional cravings for certain foods or beverages, including alcohol.
