Glutamine in Muscle and Gut

L-glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body. Most of it is stored directly in skeletal muscle. Heavy endurance training or frequent intense gym sessions deplete these stores faster than the body can synthesize new amino acids. If levels drop too low, the body begins breaking down muscle tissue to release amino acids. In addition, the intestinal lining and immune white blood cells use glutamine as their primary fuel. Supplementing with glutamine protects your muscles while supporting gut barrier integrity during physical stress.

Properties of Free-Form Amino Acids

Choose a product produced through natural fermentation from plant-based raw materials. Synthetic or poorly purified amino acids can contain manufacturing residues.

• Fermentation method: Ensures the amino acid is in its pure L-form, which the body can utilize directly.
• Solubility: Pure glutamine crystals dissolve into lukewarm or cold liquid to form a clear solution.
• Neutral taste: High quality glutamine has no bitter taste or pungent odor.

Dosage and Timing

Mix five grams of glutamine powder with water or a recovery drink immediately after training. During intense training cycles, taking a second five-gram dose in the morning on an empty stomach helps support the gut lining.
