L-glutamine is one of the 20 fundamental amino acids involved in protein synthesis. It is also the most abundant, forming about one-fifth of the amino acid reserve in human blood. Glutamine is an essential amino acid for many vital functions, including the optimal functioning of the kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, small and large intestines, and brain. However, it is best known for boosting immunity, helping to heal the intestinal lining, and promoting muscle growth.

The importance of L-glutamine for optimal immunity is twofold: it directly supports the immune system during times of stress through its ability to help produce glutathione, which is the body's most powerful antioxidant. It also indirectly promotes immunity by reducing intestinal permeability or 'leaky gut,' preventing undigested particles from entering the bloodstream and potentially triggering an immune response. L-glutamine stimulates the production of human growth hormone (hGH), also essential for muscle building, as well as maintaining youthful cellular function. Given that L-glutamine reserves are rapidly depleted during intense physical activity, it is an important component of sports nutrition.

People exposed to excessive stress, suffering from leaky gut, or with weakened immunity can benefit from L-glutamine, as well as those looking to increase muscle mass and improve post-workout recovery.

AOR's L-Glutamine provides an effective dose of this important nutrient to prevent problematic drops in levels and improve overall health. It is available in capsules and powder for your convenience.
