Glutamine like any amino acid is the basic building block of proteins. It is an amino acid that is produced and consumed by various tissues and organs in the body constantly.
When the body is in a catabolic state such as illness, injury, burn, sepsis, surgery, strenuous exercise, the glutamine that is produced endogenously is not enough to meet the needs of our body. Because in these cases, glutamine is drawn from the muscles by deconstructing them, glutamine is a well-known supplement to athletes and bodybuilders as it protects the muscles from loss, helps in recovery, reduces the feeling of soreness after intense workouts, and strengthens the Athletes’ immune system.
