Product insights

  • L-Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid crucial for maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining by serving as a primary energy source for enterocytes.
  • Glutamine supports optimal immune function by fueling lymphocytes and macrophages, key components of the immune system, particularly during periods of stress or illness.
  • Thorne's L-Glutamine supplementation helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted by physical stress, such as intense exercise, supporting recovery and reducing muscle fatigue.
