Glutamine supports and helps to maintain a healthy gut barrier. Your gut barriers is easily one of the most important parts of your immune system. It’s what keep potentially allergenic and inflammatory proteins from entering your bloodstream where they can trigger an immune response. These immune responses can be simply irritating to downright devastating. They can lead to everything from itching, swelling, and inflammation, to allergy development, allergic reactions, and even the manifestation of autoimmunity.

My L-Glutamine supports thyroid and immune system health. By supporting gut barrier integrity, you are making great strides in supporting normal immune function, and therefore, your thyroid. Your thyroid is incredibly sensitive and susceptible to an immune system gone awry. Unfortunately, many inflammatory proteins that a compromised gut barrier allows into your bloodstream trigger immune responses that can damage the thyroid as well. If you have thyroid issues or are concerned about thyroid and immune health, a high-quality Glutamine should absolutely be in your supplement cabinet.

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, glutamine can help support muscle growth and repair after your workouts, and assist with alleviating occasional muscle aches and pains.

Glutamine is a fantastic choice for anyone who:

• Has digestive issues or is concerned about leaky gut
• Wants to support a healthy and normally functioning gut barrier
• Wants to beat sugar cravings and maintain a healthy weight
• Works out or exercises and wants to support rapid muscle repair
• Wants to support healthy immune and thyroid function
• Is concerned about adequate amino acid intake
• Has taken a course of antibiotics
