Glutamine is an amino acid found naturally in various tissues of our body. The highest concentration is found in the muscles (75%). This is followed by the lungs, liver and stomach. In the brain, glutamine is converted to glutamic acid and is a major source of energy along with glycogen.

It is a critical source of energy for immune system cells, including white blood cells and certain intestinal cells such as the epithelium. Another very important function of glutamine is that it accelerates the healing of damage to the inner walls of the intestine as well as in maintaining good digestive tract health.

It is used by health professionals in cases of bowel permeability and other serious digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colitis - IBS), celiac disease, Crohn's disease.

One of the properties of glutamine is that it mediates acid-base balance. It is absorbed directly by the cells of the small intestine and may be useful for people with digestive problems or with poor absorption of nutrients after heavy medication.

Glutamine additionally helps effectively in a number of brain functions. Inside the brain, glutamine can be converted into glutamic acid, another amino acid that helps the brain function properly. Specifically, it helps:

• mental alertness
• improving memory
• improving mental functions (focus, speed, agility)

It also increases levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter in the body.
