Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body and is involved in many metabolic processes. Skeletal muscles are the primary sites of glutamine concentration. Glutamine helps protect muscle tissue and immune function during periods of immune and muscular stress. Glutamine supplementation supports protein synthesis as well as the rate of glycogen production (by serving as a carbon donor). Glutamine is also a major source of fuel for enterocytes (intestinal cells) and hence supports the integrity of the intestinal lining as well as assists in nucleotide synthesis by lymphocytes.

Suggested Use: Take 1 to 6 capsules per day between meals or after a workout, or as directed by your qualified health care consultant. Store in a cool, dry place. DO NOT refrigerate.

Caution: People who have Reye's syndrome, kidney disease, cirrhosis of the liver, or other illnesses that cause ammonia to build up in the blood should not take glutamine.
