Boost your performance and recovery with NOW Foods L-glutamine: Improve muscle recovery, support the immune system and improve gut health

L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is naturally produced by the body and is involved in various physiological processes. It is considered a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that under certain circumstances, such as intense exercise or illness, the body's demand for glutamine can exceed its ability to produce it.

L-glutamine supplements are commonly used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts to support muscle recovery and reduce muscle soreness after intense workouts. It is believed to help maintain muscle tissue, support immune function and promote gut health.







 

L-Glutamine Benefits

 

• Muscle recovery and soreness:

Strenuous exercise, especially resistance training and endurance activities, can cause muscle damage and inflammation. Supplementing with L-glutamine can aid in muscle recovery by providing the building blocks needed for protein synthesis, which is essential for repairing and rebuilding muscle tissue. Additionally, it can help reduce muscle soreness, allowing for faster recovery and improved workout performance.
 

• Immune system support:

Glutamine plays a vital role in supporting immune function. It serves as an energy source for immune cells, allowing them to function optimally. During periods of intense physical stress, such as intense training or prolonged endurance events, the immune system can become compromised. Supplementing with L-glutamine can help strengthen the immune system's response, reducing the risk of infections and supporting overall health.
 

• Gut health:

The intestinal mucosa acts as a barrier, preventing harmful substances from entering the bloodstream while allowing nutrients to be absorbed. Glutamine is crucial for maintaining the integrity of this barrier. Supplementing with L-glutamine can help strengthen and repair the intestinal lining, reducing the likelihood of increased intestinal permeability. This can improve digestion, nutrient absorption and overall gut health.
 

• Energy production:

Glutamine serves as a significant source of energy for certain cells, including the brain, immune cells, and cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Being converted to glucose through gluconeogenesis, L-Glutamine provides a readily available source of energy. This can help support cognitive function, immune response, and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract.
 

• Stress and catabolic states:

Stress, whether physical or emotional, can deplete glutamine levels in the body. In situations of prolonged stress or catabolic states (such as illness, injury, or intense training), supplementing with L-Glutamine can help restore these levels and prevent glutamine depletion. In doing so, it can support muscle preservation, immune function and overall recovery during demanding periods.
