Product Description: SupplementPromotes Gastrointestinal HealthExercise PerformanceEffective for Injuries/CausesNSF Sport CertifiedGluten FreePromotes muscle cell recovery after exercise, promotes digestive and immune health. l-Glutamine is an amino acid that supports healthy intestinal lining and immune function, helping to repair muscle cells and support recovery from injury or surgery. Thorne's l-glutamine powder is NSF Sport® Certified. Studies show that supplementing with l-glutamine can help support gastrointestinal health, promote wound healing, support immune health, and help restore depleted plasma glutamine levels after physical stress, such as long-term, high-intensity exercise. l-Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentrations in the gastrointestinal tract, where it is most commonly used. A variety of stressors, including trauma, infection, nutritional deficiencies, chemotherapy, injury, and high-intensity exercise training, can negatively affect absorption in the small intestine, which can lead to food allergies. The highest intracellular concentrations of l-glutamine are found in skeletal muscle. However, these concentrations can be negatively affected by a variety of factors, including injury, infection, chronic stress, nutritional deficiencies, and glucocorticoid use. Since intense exercise lowers blood glutamine concentrations, repeated bouts of intense exercise without adequate recovery can result in low concentrations. Studies have shown that l-glutamine supplements can counteract these side effects.
