Lamberts L-Glutamine Powder 500g is an easy and affordable way to supplement the diet with amino acid in a mild tasting pure powder that can be easily mixed with drinks or sprinkled on food. Glutamine is the largest naturally occurring non-essential amino acid in the body and it can be derived from glutamic acid, another member of the amino acid family. Various tissues in the body have different requirements for L-Glutamine and the most keen consumers of glutamine are the cells of intestines, whilst muscles are known to be high producers of L-Glutamine.

Glutamine is particularly important for the health of the gut with the cells of the gut lining obtaining much of their growth material through ultilising glutamine as a fuel. This is why, out of the 20 amino acids, glutamine, is also often referred to as the 'gut restorer' amongst practitioners and is frequently recommended when the integrity of the gut wall is compromised, as is often the case in conditions caused by microflora imbalances and some chronic conditions associated with poor gut function.

In the body, glutamine is found circulating in the blood and stored in the skeletal muscles. It becomes conditionally essential to the body (requiring intake from food or supplements), when a indvidual develops illness or injury.

Glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. It is not recognized as an essential amino acid, but is becoming conditionally essential in intensive athletic training or certain gastrointestinal disorders. Glutamine is synthesized by the enzyme glutamine synthetase from glutamate and ammonia. Accounting for about 90% of all glutamine synthesized, muscle mass is the most relevant glutamine-producing tissue. Glutamine is also released, in small amounts, by the lung and the brain. 

Glutamine is also known to assist in operations, reducing the healing time upon completion of the procedure. Clinical trials have show that patients on glutamine supplementations have improved nitrogen balances and also improved lymphocyte recovery and intestinal permeability (in postoperative patients), in comparison to those that had no glutamine within their diet.
