Glutamine is an amino acid, which plays many important and essential roles in health. It supports the immune system, maintains the integrity of the gastrointestinal system, helps to support growth and repair of tissues, and supports muscular anabolism.

It is easily depleted and activities such as regular training and participating in sports and athletics increase the body’s demand for glutamine.

After an intense workout it may take your body several hours to replenish its supply of glutamine. Therefore for sports people, taking additional glutamine as a supplement is advisable.

Supplementing with glutamine may help your body replenish its stores quickly and help maintain muscle strength as well as supporting the body in recovery from exercise.
