GLUTAMINE

Glutamine is a vital amino acid, a protein building block, crucial for immune support, gut health, and muscle recovery, acting as fuel for immune cells and aiding in tissue repair, often used as a supplement for sickle cell disease, post-surgery recovery, and intense exercise recovery to help with protein synthesis and energy. Your body makes it, but demand rises during stress, making it "conditionally essential". 

Key Uses:

Immune & Gut Health: Fuels immune cells (lymphocytes) and strengthens the intestinal barrier, preventing damage and infection.

Muscle Recovery: Supports protein synthesis, muscle growth, and reduces inflammation after intense workouts.

Energy: Provides energy for cells, helps regulate blood sugar, and removes waste like ammonia.

Medical Conditions: FDA-approved for sickle cell disease to reduce red blood cell damage, and used for recovery from burns, surgery, or chemotherapy side effects. 

How it Works:

A building block for proteins, DNA, and RNA.

Transports nitrogen and carbon in metabolic processes.

Boosts human growth hormone secretion.
