Glutamine
Glutamine facts
- Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid
- Glutamine functions as a building block of protein in the body
- L-glutamine is a better supplement to take
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid, which means the body can metabolise (or make) it from the essential amino acids. It is not necessarily required in high levels in the diet.
Glutamine, just like all the other amino acids, is one of the building blocks of all proteins in the body, which not only include muscles, but also all the other proteins required for normal function of the body.
The best type of supplemental glutamine to take is L-glutamine, which is far superior to D-glutamine, another type of glutamine supplement. L-glutamine is better absorbed and more closely resembles natural glutamine than the D-glutamine form.
