Description
L-Glutamine Details
L-glutamine, the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream, is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is the greatest user of glutamine. Many factors can play a part in the depletion of glutamine, such as food allergies, and various bodily insults like injury, infection, chronic stress, and being malnourished. Intense exercise can also adversely lower the blood level of glutamine and, if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery, then the level can remain low.
What causes glutamine depletion:
- Prolonged exhaustive exercise
- Extended periods of physical stress
- Trauma or infection
- Being malnourished
- Chemotherapy

L-Glutamine Powder Details
Thorne's L-Glutamine Powder is NSF Certified for Sport®. Evidence suggests supplemental L-glutamine benefits gastrointestinal health, supports wound healing, maintains immune health, and helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise.* L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is its greatest user. Various stress factors – such as trauma, infection, malnutrition, chemotherapy, injury, and high-level athletic training – can adversely affect absorption in the small intestine, leading to food allergies. In numerous animal studies, the addition of L-glutamine improved absorption, as well as the gut's immune function.*
Skeletal muscles contain the greatest intracellular concentration of L-glutamine. But that concentration can be adversely affected by various insults, including injury, infection, chronic stress, malnutrition, and glucocorticoid use. Intense exercise lowers blood levels of glutamine, which can remain low if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery. Research indicates L-glutamine supplementation can offset these conditions.*
Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.
Glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream! If you have read the book GUT by Giulia Enders, you know how important gut health is in the overall function of the human body. Glutamine provides fuel for intestinal cell growth, aids in the absorption of nutrients and helps prevent food allergies.
So no matter how healthy you think you’re eating, if you don’t have enough glutamine you won’t be able to digest all of those luscious nutrients. It also feeds immune cells in the body, allowing white blood cells to grow. In certain circumstances we find this supplement extraordinarily beneficial. Though the body can internally produce Glutamine, stress inflammation, or injury may eat up your supplies, leaving nothing for the rest of your body’s regular requirements. Prolonged periods of exhaustive exercise have also been known to leave the body depleted.
Add L-Glutamine to your regimen if you are going through any strenuous recoveries from extreme or acute injury, undue stress, or leaky or abnormal gut function.
HOW WE USE IT
