L-Glutamine

l-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. In times of stress or increased metabolic demand, glutamine is an especially important source of energy for the GI tract. It also supports muscle health and immune system function. In the gut, glutamine maintains healthy integrity of the intestinal tract and enhances the protective mucosal lining. This helps to ensure proper nutrient utilization and absorption while limiting the amount of toxins that pass through the intestinal barrier. l-Glutamine provides potential support for muscle function and glycogen replenishment following exercise. In addition, its effects on immune function may support post exercise recovery and resistance. l-Glutamine is derived from fermentation of vegetables. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil.
