L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid found in the bloodstream; the highest amounts are found in skeletal muscles, as well as the lung, liver, brain, and gastrointestinal tissues. The skeletal muscle has the greatest intracellular concentration of the amino acid, with up to 60% of your body’s total storage. However, the biggest user of glutamine is the gastrointestinal tract, due to the fact that glutamine offers the principal fuel for the nutrient-absorbing cells lining the small intestine’s walls.

Various stressors, including infection, chemotherapy, malnutrition, and trauma may have an impact on the functioning of the enterocytes of the small intestine; this may hinder how efficiently it absorbs substances and nutrients. In numerous research studies involving animals, supplementation with glutamine encouraged improvements in both permeability and the gut's immune function.

It has been shown that under certain circumstances, the body's tissues need more glutamine than the amount supplied by your diet and internal production. During periods of metabolic stress, glutamine is released from muscles into the bloodstream to travel where it’s needed. Physical injury, stress, infection, and certain medications can cause a decrease in the concentration of glutamine—which is why you may need a supplement like this one.

Thorne Research’s supplement provides L-Glutamine in a convenient powder form that makes getting sufficient amounts of the amino acid easy and cost-effective. Furthermore, the exclusive formula contains no magnesium stearate or any other preservatives, lubricants and diluents that have been shown to hinder bioavailability. L-Glutamine Powder contains none of those flowing agents in order to ensure that its vital nutrients are readily accessible by your body.
