Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that under certain circumstances, the body may require more Glutamine than it can produce. During these times Glutamine may be considered a "conditionally essential" amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and acts as the primary fuel for rapidly growing cells (immune system and intestinal cells). In addition, Glutamine is also a major nitrogen transporter and helps to regulate the body’s acid-base balance.Each capsule contains:L-Glutamine (Free form) 500 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients: Rice Flour, Veg Capsule (hypromellose, water), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source).
