• While recovering from infection

• When healing digestive disorders

• For ‘leaky gut’ or food allergy

• If your immune system needs help

• In periods of heavy exercise

• To help reduce cravings for alcohol, cigarettes, drugs and sugar

Features

• Converted in the body to glutamic acid, glutamine is the primary fuel for the brain. 

• Picks up excess ammonia, therefore serves as an important buffer and ammonia neutraliser. 

• Promotes the formation of glutathione, an essential enzyme required by the body for metabolic clearing of both endo and exo toxins. 

• Many studies have shown glutamine to be the primary fuel for helping maintain the integrity of the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
