Description
Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest.. Glutamine, the free form amino acid, is the single most abundant amino acid present in skeletal muscle. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances, glutamine may be considered a “conditionally essential” amino acid. Glutamine is involved in supporting a positive nitrogen balance and also aids in supporting immune system lymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes. In addition, glutamine is a supporter of acid-base balance and a nitrogen transporter.
