Glutamine is one of the body’s endogenous amino acids, which means the body synthesises some of it itself, but not enough, so part must come from food. Deficiencies are rare, but there are situations in which the demand for this amino acid is higher than the body’s ability to produce it, for example after injuries and in certain illnesses. In such cases, glutamine supplementation or getting more of it through food is essential.
Glutamine plays many vital roles in the body, supporting the proper function of the immune system and the gut. For athletes, keeping the gut in top condition is crucial, as it helps all nutrients be absorbed more effectively. Glutamine also plays an important role in nitrogen metabolism, helping remove harmful metabolic by-products created during intense sport and training. In addition, this amino acid helps protect against hair loss, which is especially important in physique sports.
