L-Glutamine Review - ATP Science
A MAK-Honest Review of L-Glutamine
Supplement Type: Glutamine
L-Glutamine is non-essential and conditionally essential in humans, meaning the body can usually synthesize sufficient amounts of it, but in some instances of stress (such as intense exercise), the body’s demand for L-Glutamine increases and L-Glutamine must be obtained from the diet. In fact, glutamine is so important to the body, it is the most abundant amino acid found in the blood. L-Glutamine comes in both 500gm (100 serves) and 1kg (200 serves) sizes.

- Reduced availability of L-Glutamine in these conditions may lead to an impaired immune function because of a reduced capacity of immune cells to proliferate
- L-Glutamine is the respiratory fuel for the lymphocytes, hepatocytes and the mucosal cells of the gut
- L-Glutamine is one of the most important substrates for ammoniagenesis, not only in the gut, but also in the kidney, because of its important role in the regulation of acid-base homeostasis
