Description
About L-Glutamine La L-glutamine is an amino acid, a basic building block of proteins, naturally synthesised by the body. It plays a major role for gut health, muscle tissue and the immune system. In certain conditions — intense stress, prolonged physical exertion or fasting — endogenous production is no longer sufficient to cover needs, making supplementation relevant. Unique properties √ Main energy substrate of enterocytes (cells of the intestinal wall), muscle cells and immune cells √ Enterocytes consume 5 times more glutamine than glucose for their energy needs, mainly derived from dietary intake √ In the event of fasting, even short, enterocytes rapidly encounter a glutamine deficit √ In the event of intense physical exertion, glutamine is consumed by muscle cells and by the kidneys to prevent acidosis linked to lactic acid production √ L form used, corresponding to the natural form of the amino acid produced by the body Authorised claims √ Protein contributes to the growth of muscle mass
