Description
Support muscle growth and recovery with Swanson L-Glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid found in the muscles of the body. It may also minimize muscle breakdown and improve protein metabolism. Supporting muscle health and strength promotes joint comfort which is key to mobility and healthy aging.
A versatile amino acid, glutamine may also benefit cognitive function and brain health. It is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and acts as a precursor to important neurotransmitters such as glutamate, aspartate and GABA.
Glutamine also provides fuel for immune cells through its activity in the gut where it may help maintain intestinal barrier function to promote GI tract integrity. Since a solid 70% of your immune system stems from your gut, keeping your digestive system happy is a win for your immune function as well.
Glutamine aids in the production of glutathione, often called the “master antioxidant.” Antioxidants help the body combat oxidative stress caused by free radicals which can in turn support the health of cells and bodily systems as we age.
