L-Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the human body, playing a critical role in muscle protein synthesis, gut mucosal integrity, and immune function. As a conditionally essential amino acid, demand exceeds synthesis during periods of physical stress, illness, or intense training, making supplementation highly effective for athletes, post-surgical recovery, and individuals with gut permeability concerns.
Applications:
- Sports nutrition (muscle recovery, anti-catabolism, post-workout)
- Gut health supplements (leaky gut, IBS, intestinal barrier support)
- Immune support formulations
- Clinical nutrition and medical foods
Key Features & Benefits:
- Most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle and blood plasma
