Benefits
Gastrointestinal support wound/trauma.
Available data indicate that that supplemental L-glutamine is beneficial for gastrointestinal health promotes wound healing supports immune health and helps restore plasma glutamine levels exhausted after periods of physical stress such as long-term grueling exercise. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentrations in the gastrointestinal tract which is its largest consumer. Various stress factors such as trauma, infection, malnutrition, chemotherapy injury and high-level sports training may adversely affect absorption in the small intestine leading to food allergies. In numerous animal studies, supplementation with L-glutamine improved absorption as well as intestinal immune function.
Skeletal muscle contains the highest intracellular concentration of L-glutamine. But this concentration can be negatively affected by various damages including injuries, infections, chronic stress malnutrition and glucocorticoid use. Intense exercise reduces glutamine levels in the blood , which can remain low if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery. Research shows that L-glutamine supplementation may compensate for these conditions.
