What is it?

L-glutamine (L), a non-essential amino acid (the body can make it from other compounds). There are two types, l-glutamine and D-glutamine, however, L is the one we are talking about in this article. It is produced in the muscles and then transferred to the bloodstream to the various organs or systems.
What does it do?
• Immune system: It is the electricity in the immune system. The white blood cell uses it to help stave off infections and repair damage:
• Protein Synthesis: One of the necessary elements of many proteins in the body
• Gut Health: Helps to maintain the lining of the gut.
• Sickel Cell Disease: May help to reduce sudden complications of this disease. Note, this is a special type and is by prescription only.
• Energy: provides energy to cells that rapidly divide.
• Nitrogen: L helps in the spread of nitrogen and helps to maintain the balance of nitrogen in the body.
• HIV/Aids: Seems to help patients absorb food better so that they can gain weight.
• Critical Illness: May reduce complications in these patients but there is no evidence that it can reduce death
• Irritable bowel syndrome: research is ongoing.

What doesn’t it do?

• Improve athletic performance
• Improve cystinuria (a disease where bladder or kidney stones develop).
• Improve low birth weight.
• Improve muscular dystrophy
• Improve the growth and development of premature infants
• Improve diarrhea from radiation therapy

Do I need it?

L-glutamine is produced in the body and most people do not need to supplement it. However, if you think you do, it is found in meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and some beans, spinach, and cabbage. It is also available as a supplement.
You may need to supplement if you suffer from physical stress, burns, infections, food allergies, chemotherapy, or immune disorders.

What are the side effects?

The most common side effects are GI, headaches, fatigue, and allergic reactions. People with liver, kidney, or metabolic disorders should speak with their health care provider before taking L-glutamine. L-glutamine has not been proven safe during pregnancy or breast feeding and in high doses. It may also interact with other medications kike chemo or medications used for seizures.
How much should I take and how does it come?
The old rule of start low and go slow should be applied here. The general dose is from 5 – 10 grams daily. If you are taking it for a specific purpose you should talk with your health care provider about the amount you should take.
L-glutamine comes in capsules, tablets and powders and it is recommended that it be taken on an empty stomach.

Where do I get it?

As always, I recommend pharmaceutical grade vitamins and supplements because you know you will be getting what you pay for. They have in them what they say they have in them. Xymogen is the company I have used for many years for myself, family and patients. Their vitamins and supplements are made here in the USA. These products are only available through a health care provider. I will place a like at the bottom of this page for your convenience. #muchmorethanvitimains
