Nutri L-Glutamine is a good high strength formula. L-Glutamine is not an essential amino acid but the body often needs more than it can synthesise especially when under increased physiological stress or illness. Glutamine is especially balancing for the support of mucous membranes in the GI tract and other tissues.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (protein building block) in the body and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid.

Glutamine is a critical component of glutathione and supports the body€™s tissues against oxidative damage.

Glutamine is essential for DNA synthesis and replication.

Glutamine is the preferred fuel of small intestine enterocytes and is therefore vital to the health of the intestine as a whole.

Recommended Intake

2 capsules one to three times daily, half an hour before meals, or as directed.

Nutrition and Allergy Advice

The contents are vegetarian and vegan but the capsule is made from gelatin so vegetarians and vegans may prefer to break open the capsule and sprinkle the contents on food.

Encapsulated with

Cautions and Contraindications

Not recommended during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding

Each tablet provides 1000mg of hydrolysed bovine protein, supplying a balanced mixture of essential and non-essential amino acids, necessary for the body to produce structural proteins, transport proteins, enzymes, immunoglobulins, and peptide hormones.

Using a bovine tissue source supplies a complete protein, adequate to meet all of the body€™s essential amino acid needs for protein synthesis.

€¢ A bovine source for these amino acids ensures that they are in the natural laevorotatory (L-) form. The human body can only metabolise L-amino acids.

€¢ Amino acids function as the building blocks of proteins. Proteins have numerous functions:

- as structural components of the body (eg., muscle, collagen, connective tissue, cellular receptors, etc)
- as enzymes that catalyze all biochemical reactions in the body
- as transport proteins (eg., lipoproteins, haemoglobin, albumin, etc)
- as peptide hormones (eg., insulin, glucagons, thyroid, etc)
- and as immunoglobulins and cell recognition proteins.

Recommended Intake

6 tablets daily with food, or as directed.
