Promote Gut Barrier Function with L-Glutamine†
I’m sure you’ve heard about why gut barrier integrity is important. Your gut barrier is a crucial part of your whole body system, helping to “gatekeep” and manage what matter crosses over from your digestive tract into your bloodstream. Anyone who is invested in their gut health should be paying attention to L-Glutamine.†
A Healthy Gut Is Key To Immune System Health†
Glutamine supports and helps to maintain a healthy gut barrier. Your gut barriers are easily one of the most important parts of your immune system. It’s what keeps unwanted substances from entering your bloodstream where they can stimulate the body’s natural immune responses.†
L-Glutamine Promotes a Balanced Insulin Response†
If you want to promote a balanced insulin response and support your metabolism, look no further than Glutamine. Glutamine’s effects on insulin response can help keep blood sugar levels in check throughout the day. Add to this that Glutamine supports healthy pancreatic function, and you have a multi-faceted tool in supporting and maintaining healthy fat metabolism. An added bonus is that by helping to balanced blood sugar levels, stress hormone levels, such as cortisol, are also positively impacted.†
Supporting Immune Function is Key to a Thyroid Health Regimen†
Supporting the health of the immune system is crucial for maintaining a well-functioning thyroid. The thyroid and immune system have a close interdependence. Fostering a robust immune system is a key aspect of ensuring thyroid health. Reinforcing gut barrier integrity is a significant step towards supporting immune function, leading to overall benefits for the entire body. If you are dedicated to promoting both thyroid and immune health, including a high-quality Glutamine supplement in your cabinet is highly recommended.†
L-Glutamine Is Great For Muscle Recovery After Exercise†
L-Glutamine supports muscle tissue repair, especially after workouts. While the fitness community has known this for decades, this is a fantastic trait of glutamine that is often overlooked. Because glutamine is the most abundant amino acid involved in muscle synthesis, it is readily used by the body to help repair muscle tissue that’s been damaged due to over-exercising and overuse. If you work out regularly and feel sore and stiff afterward and assist with alleviating occasional muscle aches and pains†

FAQs
What is L-Glutamine?
L-Glutamine is an amino acid, and amino acids are the building blocks of protein. The various proteins your body synthesizes out of these amino acids are what make up most of the tissue. Bones, skin, muscles, blood vessels, even your hair and nails; all of these require amino acids like L-Glutamine and protein in order to grow and be healthy.†
Is it safe for kids to take L-Glutamine? What about pregnant or breastfeeding mothers?
Because everyone responds to supplementation with amino acids differently, there is not an across the board answer regarding Glutamine’s safety for children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. As I often do, I recommend working with a qualified health professional if you have questions or concerns about supplementation in these cases.
Should I take L-Glutamine before or after a workout?
I recommend taking L-Glutamine before and after working out. Taken before a workout, Glutamine actually helps satisfy muscles’ demands for glucose and keep blood sugar from dipping too low, which would result in stress hormone release, i.e. cortisol. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone and actually breaks down muscle tissue. Taken after a workout, glutamine is essential to help repair overworked muscles.†
