L-Glutamine serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines
It's involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid.
Some experts point out that glutamine can pass through the protective blood-brain barrier and, because of this, it is known as brain fuel. It aids in protecting the body from ammonia toxicity. L-Glutamine appears to be necessary for normal brain function. It is also essential for maintaining amino acid balance in the body during times of severe stress. It's used by white blood cells and contributes to normal immune-system function.
General Health Benefits
Promotes the maintenance of a healthy digestive tract.
May promote mental alertness and improve mood and memory.
May boost immune function and fight infection.
May decrease sugar cravings and the desire for alcohol.
Helps to prevent the kind of muscle loss (wasting) that can accompany prolonged bed rest or illnesses such as cancer and AIDS who may be incapable of manufacturing their own supply of glutamine. Side Note: It's important to note that stress an injury (including surgical trauma) cause the muscles to release glutamine into the bloodstream. In fact, some experts state that during the time of stress as much as one third of glutamine present in the muscles may be released. As a result, stress and/or illness can lead to the loss of skeletal muscle if not enough glutamine is available. Therefore, one of the benefits of L glutamine is to ensure enough of it is available in the body to help prevent muscle loss (wasting).
