Product Description:

L-Glutamine is an amino acid mostly produced in the skeletal muscle.
This important amino acid transports nitrogen and carbon throughout the musculoskeletal system, is essential for the immune system, and helps maintain intestinal function.*

Why is Glutamine Important?

Glutamine plays an important role when the body is under metabolic stress (for example, the stress on the body from illnesses, surgery, or trauma). It also acts as a fuel for certain white cells and strengthens the intestinal wall (especially the small intestine). What’s more, glutamine functions as a building block for other important chemicals (such as glucose and glutathione*) that the body needs.*

Glutamine can help increase energy as well as strengthen and repair the lining of the intestines. This ability to strengthen and repair the intestinal lining is especially important for patients whose intestinal linings have been damaged by infection, alcohol, and medications (for example, aspirin, ibuprofen, and other arthritis medications) that are known to irritate the intestinal wall.*

Glutamine is used for:

• leaky gut problems*
• moodiness/irritability*
• short-bowel syndrome*
• enhancing exercise performance*
• reducing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract in people receiving chemotherapy and radiation*
• helping bone-marrow transplant patients*
• helping prevent infectious complications in critically ill patients*
• aiding in the recovery process from exercising*
• helping prevent death in trauma patients*

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, mix one heaping teaspoon full into water or a beverage once or more daily as directed by your physician or health-care provider. Preferably taken without food.

CAUTION: If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your physician or health-care provider before use.
