Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. Its well known for its role in healing disorders associated with smooth muscle tissue, such as leaky gut.
Glutamine is also a precursor to the neurotransmitter glutamate. A lack of glutamine can result in disorders such as epilepsy.
Here are some other potential health benefits.
Glutamine is available in supplement form. When a condition is resolved, and underlying causes corrected, regular consumption of foods high in glutamine should be sufficient to maintain good health.
The best sources of glutamine are whey, seafood, dairy products, eggs and lean meats. Vegetable sources include beans, nuts, spinach, red cabbage, leafy greens, and asparagus.
Anyone with an existing serious health condition should use glutamine only under the supervision of a health care practitioner. Consult your pharmacist if you take prescription medication.
