Glutamine is a semi-essential amino acid that supports healthy digestive and immune systems. Glutamine is mainly assimilated in the small intestine where it constitutes an important source of energy for the intestinal mucosa. During times of stress, glutamine can become depleted, increasing the permeability of the intestinal lining. A glutamine intake has been shown to promote normal digestive function and prevent increased intestinal permeability during periods of physical stress.
Glutamine levels tend to decrease following prolonged physical exertion, which can impact immune function, as glutamine is an important source of energy for some immune cells. A clinical study conducted on endurance athletes demonstrated that glutamine intake helped minimize post-exercise infections and increase the ratio of helper T lymphocytes; suppressor T lymphocytes.
