L-Glutamine, 120 powder

L-Glutamine, 100% plant-based antioxidant protection! Alkalizing support for intestinal mucosal health

L-Glutamine (commonly referred to simply as glutamine) is a semi-essential amino acid present in every cell of the body, especially in muscles, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, lungs, and the digestive tract. Specialists often call it a “fundamental building block of the body” because it plays a key role in protein synthesis and is part of the immune system’s mechanisms. Glutamine is essential for internal organs and also contributes to cell development and function, nutrient transport in the bloodstream, and defense against viruses and bacteria.

• Helps reduce intestinal permeability by maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining.
• Contributes to balancing the body’s pH through its alkalizing effect.
• Supports recovery during convalescence.
• Promotes muscle recovery.

Natural sources of glutamine – foods rich in glutamine

Our body naturally produces glutamine, and it can also be found in many foods, especially animal-based products due to their high protein content. The richest sources include beef, milk, eggs, yogurt, and cheese. For vegans and vegetarians, sources of glutamine include red cabbage, nuts, legumes, and others. However, in certain situations, a higher intake of L-Glutamine may be necessary, especially when dietary intake is insufficient. Zenyth L-Glutamine contains L-Glutamine obtained from plant-based sources through microbial fermentation.

L-Glutamine, beneficial for people with intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and associated conditions

The onset of numerous autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, psoriasis, celiac disease, and others may be associated with increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut). This condition may also be linked to thyroid disorders, psycho-emotional issues, skin conditions, and more. Since glutamine is the primary energy source for intestinal cells, numerous studies have shown that this amino acid helps restore intestinal mucosal integrity. In particular, glutamine is an essential nutrient for repairing and maintaining the intestinal lining, making it beneficial for individuals with conditions related to increased intestinal permeability.

L-Glutamine for faster recovery after intense workouts

During intense physical training, cellular glutamine levels may decrease by up to 50%, while plasma levels may drop by around 30%. To compensate for this deficit and prevent the body from using muscle reserves, nutrition specialists recommend glutamine supplementation. L-Glutamine not only supports muscle recovery after exercise but may also help improve physical performance. Therefore, L-Glutamine supplements are useful for athletes and individuals following dietary programs.

L-Glutamine supports the immune system

In situations such as surgery, burns, or infections, stress-related cortisol release can reduce glutamine levels, causing the body to break down muscle reserves to synthesize more amino acids. In these cases, immune function may be compromised. Studies suggest that L-Glutamine may help support immune responses; research published in 2001 showed that L-Glutamine contributes to regulating the IgA immune response. Glutamine serves as a key energy substrate for leukocytes, the cells responsible for fighting viruses and bacteria.

L-Glutamine supports weight management and muscle mass development

According to studies, L-Glutamine supplementation may increase growth hormone levels, contributing to a higher resting metabolic rate, which is important for fat burning, weight management, and muscle development. L-Glutamine also has antioxidant properties by supporting endogenous glutathione synthesis, essential for nitrogen transport in muscle cells. This process helps accelerate recovery after surgery, illness, or intense physical training, supports muscle growth, and may reduce lactic acid accumulation.

L-Glutamine may help prevent muscle degradation

Individuals in recovery or those immobilized for long periods may benefit from glutamine supplementation to help prevent muscle loss, as blood glutamine levels can decrease under such conditions.

L-Glutamine is a food supplement.

Food supplements should not replace a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of the reach and sight of young children.
