Brand: Nutraglutamine, Glantamin, Quinton, GlutaSolve
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning the body can usually synthesize enough for its needs. However, under conditions of stress, such as illness or intense exercise, the body's demand for glutamine may exceed its ability to produce it. Glutamine plays a vital role in various physiological processes, including protein synthesis, immune function, and gut health. It is also involved in the regulation of acid-base balance and nitrogen transport in the body.
Used as a nutritional supplement for athletes, patients recovering from surgery or burns, and those with gastrointestinal issues.
