Glutamine |
| Basics |
Glutamine is an important nitrogen-carrying amino acid that may be conditionally essential in certain conditions to support the gut barrier, immune function and overall protein use. It is the most abundant free-form amino acid found in muscle tissue. L-Glutamine is not only utilized by muscle tissue, but also in large quantities by the Defense mechanism of body and by the digestive system as well. During periods of intense training, levels of this amino acid can decline and our bodies may not be able to make enough of it. This can result in depleted L-Glutamine levels in our muscles and thus cause muscle-tissue breakdown. |
