Glutamine Intestinal supplement Dijo

What is Glutamine or L-Glutamine? 

Glutamine, also knownas L-glutamine , is an amino acid found in blood and muscles. It plays an important role in the synthesis of proteins used to produce energy and renew tissues, the preservation of the immune system, as well as the maintenance of the intestinal wall and the body's acid-base balance. Glutamine is considered a "non-essential" amino acid, as the body naturally produces sufficient quantities to meet its needs.

Why take L-Glutamine: the benefits of this amino acid

L-glutamine is involved in numerous metabolic functions, particularly in the intestinal tract. In fact, it is the main fuel for the intestine, helping to repair its lining. This lining is essential, acting as a barrier and filter to ensure the proper absorption of vitamins, probiotics and nutrients. Numerous studies have highlighted the link between L-glutamine deficiency and intestinal permeability, which is at the root of digestive disorders and immune imbalances.

When should I take Glutamine? 

To care for the intestines, we recommend taking glutamine on an empty stomach, around 30 to 45 minutes before a meal. Taking your L-glutamine on an empty stomach prevents it from competing with amino acids in your diet. What's more, eating food can slow down digestion and delay the absorption of amino acids and glutamine.
