Glutamine

Was on food supplements page – but couldn’t find the product in the UK – need to source alternative

Glutamine

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, but stressors deplete it more quickly than any other amino acid. Therefore, it is considered an “essential non-essential” amino acid.  It is important for metabolism, weight regulation and the prevention of muscle breakdown. It is crucial for the maintenance of the nervous system, for brain function and for intestinal health. Glutamine is critical for the repair of the constantly renewing cells of the intestinal lining. So it can heal leaky gut, caused by intenstinal dysbiosis.

Also, glutamine is one of the ‘building blocks’ of glutathione,  synthesized by every cell in the body, including the brain. Glutathione plays a crucial role in the regulation of many body functions that are required to sustain life, including the repair of DNA, synthesis of proteins and activation and regulation of enzymes. It is critical for  normal immune function,  the production of digestive enzymes and  for cognitive function, mood and quality of sleep.

GlutImmune™ is a dairy free natural source of Covalent Bonded Glutamine. This product is produced by a proprietary enzyme action on red wheat berries rich in glutamine. Recent publications have stated that Covalent bonded glutamine delivers up to 10 times more glutamine to the blood stream than L-glutamine, thereby increasing the health benefits.

This is one more ingredient you can add to smoothies – or to the raspberry ‘ice cream’ recipe above! Never has ice cream been packed with so many nutrients!
