The most abundant amino acid in the body is L-Glutamine (Glutamine).
It is very important for your digestive system. The cells of the intestinal lining absorb nutrients and provide
a barrier against toxins and bacteria that enter the stomach with food and water. Chemicals found in what we eat
weaken the intestinal lining. A compromised intestinal barrier allows bacteria and toxins to pass into the bloodstream.
Glutamine helps the intestinal lining from deteriorating.
L-Glutamine is also a primary source of fuel for the immune system. The cells of the immune system need an adequate
supply of Glutamine or they cannot defend the body against infection and disease. Glutamine keeps the immune system
working at maximum capacity and stimulates the production of antioxidants. L-Glutamine also aides in destroying
toxic free radicals within your body.
If your digestive tract is not healthy, digestion can be hindered, causing
a nutrient deficiency and decreasing the body's ability to function efficiently. Studies show that Glutamine is
needed to keep the digestive tract healthy.
We have always discussed the fact that our products are bioavailable. Is your body letting you absorb everything
you need?
Glutamine:
- Is a prime nutrient for the lining of the digestive tract and promotes
the healing of
most digestive disorders - irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, acid reflux, GERD.
- Is a major amino acid required in the synthesis of glutathione, the
major antioxidant formed in the liver
- Is required for RNA/DNA synthesis that is essential for cell proliferation,
growth, wound healing and tissue repair
- Is required for our growth, healing, and physical and mental development
- Will readily pass the blood brain barrier where it is converted into
energy or is used to produce chemicals used for brain function
- Improves memory in both the mentally impaired and normal children and
adults
- Improves problem solving and cognitive skills
- Relieves stress, fatigue, depression, and anger
- Promotes a general feeling of well-being in most people
- Helps control alcohol and sugar cravings and protects from harmful effects
of alcohol
Consider your state of health and decide for yourself... should
you be supplementing your diet with glutamine?
Guy received a letter from a customer about another use for L-glutamine
powder. The author of the letter had a suggestion concerning sugar cravings and how to best stop them. She said,
"When a sugar urge emerges, take 1-2 grams of L-glutamine, preferably with some heavy cream and just a touch
of nonsugar sweetener." This reaffirms the diversity and importance of this amino acid supplement to healthy
and unhealthy individuals.
