The amino acid L-glutamine supports the build-up of the musculature, good sleep, the ability to concentrate and is a tip for sudden food cravings

With a quantity share of 20%, L-glutamine is the main component of the pool of free amino acids in the blood plasma. Along with L-alanine, the amino acid has a buffer function in the blood, because it transforms ammonia, which forms in the protein metabolism, into urea, which is excreted by the kidneys. L-Glutamine is also responsible for the breakdown of ammonia in the liver. That is why the kidneys and the liver have the highest glutamine consumption.

The intestines and the brain also need plenty of L-glutamine

It is needed in the intestinal tract for the constantly running digestive and transport processes and acts as an energy supplier for the intestinal cells. The brain uses L-glutamine to form neurotransmitters.

Besides protein powders and BCAAs, L-glutamine is one of the most important dietary supplements for bodybuilders and power athletes.
