L-Glutamine - The Sports Supplement That Many People Ignore

L-Glutamine is the most abundant non-essential amino acid in the body and the most abundant free amino acid in muscle.

Under normal circumstances, there is an amino acid called glutamine in human muscles, which is synthesized by muscle tissue proteins through glutamine synthetase. Glutamine is a special nutrient that has been used in hospitals to help restore and maintain muscle mass. And L-glutamine has protective and repairing effects on gastrointestinal mucosal damage, and it has only become popular as a sports supplement in recent years.

L-Glutamine capsules are the most abundant non-essential amino acid in the body and the most abundant free amino acid in muscle, accounting for 60% of the total free amino acid in the human body. The rest are found in the lung, liver, brain, and stomach tissue.

The main physiological functions and benefits of L-glutamine supplements:

Cell energy source: L-glutamine is the main metabolic substrate of mononuclear macrophages, and provides energy for cell metabolism through the glutamine glycolysis pathway.

Important nitrogen source for cells: It is a precursor for the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Improve gastrointestinal nutrition: L-glutamine can effectively prevent intestinal mucosal atrophy, maintain normal intestinal mucosal weight, structure, and protein content, enhance intestinal cell activity, and improve intestinal immune function.

Enhance immunity: L-glutamine provides energy for immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages in intestinal-associated lymphoid tissue, and ensures the proliferation of immune cells.
