Newgreen High Quality Food Grade L-glutamine Powder 99% Purity Glutamine
Product Description
Introduction to Glutamine
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid widely present in the human body and food. It is an important intermediate product of amino acid metabolism, and its chemical formula is C5H10N2O3. Glutamine is mainly converted from glutamic acid in the body and participates in various physiological processes.
Characteristics and properties:
1. Non-essential amino acids: Although the body can synthesize them, their requirements increase under certain circumstances (such as heavy exercise, illness, or trauma).
2. Water Soluble: Glutamine is easily soluble in water and is suitable for use in supplements and food formulations.
3. Important Energy Source: In cellular metabolism, glutamine is an important energy source, especially for intestinal cells and immune cells.
Primary sources:
Food: Meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, beans, nuts, etc.
Supplements: Often found in powder or capsule form, widely used in sports nutrition and health supplements.
Glutamine plays an important role in maintaining good health and supporting athletic performance.

Function
Function of Glutamine
Glutamine has many important functions in the human body, including:
1. Nitrogen source:
Glutamine is the main transport form of nitrogen, involved in the synthesis of amino acids and nucleotides, and is essential for cell growth and repair.
2. Supports Immune System:
Glutamine is an important source of energy in the metabolism of immune cells (such as lymphocytes and macrophages), helping to enhance immune function.
3. Promote intestinal health:
Glutamine is the main source of energy for intestinal epithelial cells, helping to maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier and prevent leaky gut.
4. Participate in protein synthesis:
As an amino acid, glutamine is involved in protein synthesis and supports muscle growth and repair.
5. Regulate acid-base balance:
Glutamine can be converted into bicarbonate in the body to help maintain acid-base balance.
6. Relieve exercise fatigue:
Glutamine supplementation may help reduce muscle fatigue and speed recovery after high-intensity exercise.
7. Antioxidant effect:
Glutamine can promote the synthesis of glutathione, has a certain antioxidant effect, and helps resist oxidative stress.
Glutamine is widely used in sports nutrition, clinical nutrition and health products due to its multiple functions.
Application
Application of Glutamine
Glutamine is widely used in many fields, including:
1. Sports Nutrition:
Supplements: Glutamine is often used as a sports supplement to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts improve performance, reduce muscle fatigue and accelerate recovery.
2. Clinical Nutrition:
Critical Care: In critically ill patients and during post-operative recovery, glutamine can be used to support immune function and promote intestinal health, helping to reduce complications.
Cancer Patients: Used to improve the nutritional status of cancer patients and reduce the side effects caused by chemotherapy.
3. Gut Health:
Gut Disorders: Glutamine is used to treat intestinal disorders (such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) to help repair intestinal epithelial cells.
4. Food Industry:
Functional Foods: As a nutritional fortifier, glutamine can be added to functional foods and beverages to enhance their nutritional value.
5. Beauty and Skin Care:
SKIN CARE INGREDIENT: In some skin care products, glutamine is used as a moisturizer and anti-aging ingredient to help improve skin texture.
Glutamine has become one of the important ingredients in many industries due to its multiple functions and good safety profile.
