L-Glutamine

For optimal performance of the digestive system, immune system and muscles, and for overall health, supplement your diet with l-glutamine. From your gut, to your immune system, to your muscles, L-glutamine plays a big part in your health.

• -Found naturally in the body, the amino acid l-glutamine is necessary in a range of processes, including the production of other amino acids and glucose. It's key for providing fuel to your cells and keeping you going throughout the day and life.
• -Glutamine is important to digestive health, protecting the lining of the digestive tract and maintaining intestinal mucosa. It may also reduce intestinal permeability, helping the body combat digestive disorders.
• -Glutamine also plays a role in the immune system, providing fuel for lymphocytes that target antigens and infection.
• -As an added bonus, glutamine might help you curb those sugar cravings - and lose some pounds - since glutamine is involved in the production of glucose.

Even though our bodies are able to manufacture glutamine, life can sometimes make it hard for them to keep up. Stress - mental and physical - increases cortisol, which depletes the body's supply of glutamine. Glutamine levels can also drop when our muscles use up the body's stores during rigorous physical activity.
