Protects Muscle Tissue Supports Immune Function
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is involved in many metabolic processes. Skeletal muscles are the primary sites of glutamine concentration. It protects muscle tissue and supports immune function during periods of immune and muscular stress. Glutamine supplementation supports protein synthesis, as well as, the rate of glycogen production (by serving as a carbon donor). It supports integrity of intestinal tissue by serving as a fuel source for intestinal mucosal cells and nucleotide synthesis by lymphocytes.
