Glutamine is an amino acid in the body involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Being non-essential it can be made in the body and large amounts can be produced in muscle cells. With excessive stress physiological or mental (in any form) insufficient glutamine may be produced in the body and more glutamine is needed and supplementation is advised. It is found in high-protein foods such as meat, fish, beans, wheat germ and dairy products. Here are areas that L-Glutamine facilitates:
Energy: When glucose is not readily available in the body, it can convert glutamine into glucose. This can also occur in the brain. Gut health: The cells of the small and large intestine use glutamine as a fuel source promoting gut mucosal integrity. Healthy maintenance of the villi which line the intestines is dependent the presence of glutamine as a fuel source. It prevents bacteria infiltrating the cell walls and bacterial translocation. Immune function: L-Glutamine provides a major fuel source for immune cells hence essential for the healthy function of white blood cells. Muscle repair and growth: L-Glutamine is essential for wound healing, chronic bowel disease, sepsis, immune disorders, brain stressors and with increased metabolic needs resulting from long periods of physical training.Brain health and stability: It balances brain health and is a major fuel source for the brain. Anti-inflammatory effect: It can have an anti-inflammatory effect. Crohns disease: If a patient is on indomethacin then oral glutamine can prevent gut permeability associated with this medication.Celiac disease: Glutamine supplementation can help these patients due to their experiencing protein losses and repairing gut health. Short bowel disease: It can enhanced nutrient absorption. It may reduce diarrhea in patients with this disease because it aids in the re-absorption of sodium and water.
