Learn more about glutamine.

Glutamine is an amino acid of which skeletal muscles are considered the most important producers.

It has been noted that muscle and plasma concentrations of glutamine decrease greatly when the body is subjected to high stress (catabolic state, inflammation, intense physical exercise) because glutamine utilization by various tissues increases. During these periods, it would seem that the body's ability to synthesize glutamine would be insufficient to meet the needs and can lead to a deficiency.

In the event of a deficiency, the functioning of several vital systems can be compromised as well as the immune system which can become "weakened".

Glutamine and its roles in the body

Glutamine plays various roles in our body. It is well known for its role in protein synthesis, the integrity of intestinal cells, the functioning of the cells of our immune system and c is a major component of the microbiota.

Glutamine is known for its beneficial effect on various organs and body systems. It is associated with numerous metabolic mechanisms and pathways, including reactions catalyzed by glutaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Mechanisms of potentially protective effects of glutamine have been studied and include maintenance of intestinal mucosal integrity, modulation of inflammatory response, nucleotide biosynthesis, energy metabolism, and stimulation of immunity.

Advice of a nutrition professional

@isabelle_fit_

"L-glutamine can be useful intra- or post-training to prevent a drop in intra-muscular glutamine stock during physical exertion. In addition, glutamine can prove to be a real ally against gastrointestinal disorders linked to intense physical activity (diarrhea, bloating, nausea. ) It can reduce the intestinal permeability often increased by hyperthermia induced by physical exercise. Normally we do not need to supplement. However, during high stress such as intense physical exercise, deficiencies may appear and supplementation may be necessary. Quality Glutamine Kyowa® is one of the best choices in terms of purity and effectiveness. "
