Benefits of L-Glutamine
- It is highly safe and non-toxic, and is listed as a GRAS (Gradually Antioxidant) substance by the US FDA. Therefore, it can be used with confidence and in moderation.
- L-Glutamine is not only widely found in food, but can also be synthesized in the body through L-Glutamic Acid.
- L-Glutamine is a source of nitrogen in the body, promoting blood circulation, regulating blood pressure, and boosting immunity.
- L-Glutamine supplementation can maintain and increase GSH levels, acting as an antioxidant.

Foods rich in L-Glutamine
Meat (lean meat, white fish); whole eggs; dairy products; soy products; and some vegetables (cabbage, spinach). These foods are high in L-Glutamine.
What is L-Glutamine?
L-Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid in the human body and is also the most abundant amino acid in muscle. It can be synthesized internally. If the body cannot produce enough L-Glutamine on its own, it can be obtained through food or supplements. Because it is free in the blood, it reacts with other substances in the body, producing new substances that are beneficial to the body. These substances help accelerate metabolism, boost immunity, and regulate nervous system function.

Dosage of L-Glutamine
For healthy individuals: 3-6 grams, which can be obtained from food. For those with special needs: 5-15 grams, which can be obtained through supplements or pharmaceuticals. Generally, it should be taken before meals. For athletes, it is recommended to take it within 1-2 hours after exercise.
L-Glutamine VS L-Glutathione
L-Glutamine is present in L-Glutathione and is one of the three amino acids that make up L-Glutathione. L-Glutathione’s primary functions are antioxidant and detoxification, converting harmful substances in the body into harmless substances for excretion.
