L-Glutamine 90caps - Thorne

Thorne 's L-glutamine is the most common amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentrations in skeletal muscle and lung, liver, brain, and gastrointestinal tissues. Skeletal muscle contains the highest concentration of intracellular glutamine, comprising up to 60 percent of the body's total glutamine reserves, and muscle is the primary storage depot and exporter of glutamine to other tissues. However, the gastrointestinal tract is the largest user of glutamine in the body because glutamine provides the primary fuel for the nutrient-absorbing cells lining the walls of the small intestine.

What causes glutamine depletion:

• Prolonged exhaustive exercise
• Prolonged periods of physical stress
• Trauma or infection
• Being malnourished
• Chemotherapy
