Hi, I am interested in diets, nutrition, sports and workout. I’ve been reading about those things, and I often see that people talk about glutamine. Can you tell me what is it?
Hi, glutamine is type of amino acids, which has an important role in metabolic processes. It is converted to glucose when our body needs more energy. It is actually a fuel for cells, which would waste away if there wasn’t glutamine. That’s why it has an important part in immune system. Glutamine can be found in beans, meat, fish and dairy products. If you are healthy, you don’t need any glutamine supplements. You will get enough of it from food, unless you have some disorder that needs glutamine for support. After intensely exercising, your glutamine level could be reduced by as much as 50%.
