L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is a conditionally EAA (the body is unable to produce enough under certain
conditions).It is also the most abundant AA in the body
(50% of total in blood and 60% in the body).
It is depleted by prolonged exercise, surgery, burns, and infections by as much as 50%.

L-Glutamine
The Best dietary sources are: poultry, beef, fish, dairy,
Cabbage & beets.
3. Enhanced GI health via fuel and maintenance of Intestinal mucosal cells (it is the primary fuel for the
enterocytes of the small intestine, its depletion is a/w increased gut permeability).

L-Glutamine
Optimum or supplemental levels are A/w: 1. Maintaining muscle mass (esp. following any of the above stressors).2. Enhancing Immune system function by fueling WBCs (above stressors impair I function).
Is there any wonder why we added additional L-Glutamine to our Paleo Proteins Perfected Line?

L-Glutamine
4. It helps maintain or boost healthy Growth Hormone levels.
5. Glutamine is Involved in the production of glutathione along with L-cysteine and glycine
(and therefore has a strong AO role).
