Glutamine is particularly important for the health of the gut with the cells of the gut lining obtaining
much of their growth material through utilising glutamine as a fuel. This is why, out of the 20 amino
acids, glutamine, is often referred to as the ‘gut restorer’ amongst practitioners and is frequently
recommended when the integrity of the gut wall is compromised, as is often the case in conditions
caused by microflora imbalances and some chronic conditions associated with poor gut function.
It is also often used for sports recovery since large quantities of glutamine are stored in our muscles
where it plays an important role in repairing and building new muscle. Heavy training can deplete our
glutamine stores so a supplement may help speed recovery.
Lamberts® powdered L-Glutamine is an easy and affordable way to supplement the diet with doses
