    The basics

    Glutamine is an amino acid, a fundamental building block of proteins, that plays an essential role in multiple functions within our body. While it is the most abundant amino acid in our muscles, its significance goes well beyond muscle health.

    What are the benefits?

    Muscle builder

    • Helps to support and repair the gut
    • Improves training recovery
    • Supports our mucosal lining

    The Science

    Glutamine plays an intricate role in cellular metabolism. It's vital for repairing tissue and preventing muscle breakdown in the muscles, making it a staple for athletes and bodybuilders. In the gut, it acts as the primary fuel source for the intestinal lining cells. This ensures a robust gut lining, crucial for nutrient absorption and keeping harmful bacteria and toxins out of the bloodstream.

    Moreover, during physical or mental stress, the body's requirement for glutamine can exceed its ability to produce it. Herein lies the importance of supplementation. Glutamine also aids in the production of glutathione, a potent antioxidant essential for immune health.

    It's fascinating to note that the brain uses glutamine as a precursor to neurotransmitters, making it imperative for cognitive functions and maintaining mental equilibrium.

    How will I know its working?

    After consistent use, individuals may notice quicker recovery after workouts, fewer digestive issues, improved cognitive clarity, and a stronger immune response, especially during periods of stress or illness.

    When to take it?

    Take 1 tablet daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
