Solgar L-Glutamine 1000mg Nutritional Supplement With Glutamine

For Digestive System

Solgar® L-Glutamine 1000 mg Tablets is one of Solgar's premium amino acid products, containing L-Glutamine, an essential amino acid for every muscle in the body.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed for many internal body functions. They are classified as 'essential' or 'non-essential', with essential amino acids not being produced by the body and having to be supplemented from the diet to maintain general good health. Amino acids can also be used by the body to make hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers.

Inadequate intake of essential amino acids increases the body's need for non-essential amino acids, either through diet or by taking supplements. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs. L-Glutamine is the most common amino acid and is found in large amounts in muscle. In fact, about 60% of the total amount of amino acids in muscle is glutamine. It is considered a non-essential amino acid (because it is produced by the body), but as it provides fuel for the muscles, sometimes more glutamine is needed, which cannot be produced in sufficient quantities.

For example, during intense exercise, glutamine stores are depleted as the body is put into a state of tension and more glutamine is required in muscles and tendons. In this case, to minimize muscle breakdown, we need to get glutamine from the diet or through supplements. Natural sources of glutamine are grass-fed beef, free-range fish, cottage cheese, asparagus and broccoli. Even when you include glutamine-rich foods in your diet or use whey powder, you may still benefit from taking a supplement.

Solgar® L-Glutamine 1000 mg is consumed with 1-2 Tablets daily.
