Glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. Its side chain is an amide formed by replacing the side-chain hydroxyl of glutamic acid with an amine functional group.

It is a conditionally essential amino acid meaning that while the body can make glutamine, under extreme physical stress or exercise the demand for glutamine may exceed the body's ability to synthesize it. During times of physical stress or exercise glutamine reserves are depleted and and may be needed to be replenished through external means like Glutamate L-Glutamine food supplemen. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body.

Benefits :
Glutamine is involved in more metabolic processes of the body than any other amino acid. Glutamine may be converted to glucose when more glucose is required by the body as an energy source. Glutamine is known to play a part in maintaining proper blood glucose levels and the right pH range. Glutamine is known to assist in maintaining the proper acid/alkaline balance in the body, and is the basis of the building blocks for the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Glutamine regulates the expression of certain genes, including those that govern certain protective enzymes, and helps regulate the biosynthesis of DNA and RNA. Construction of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is dependent upon adequate amounts of glutamine. Glutamine increases the body's ability to secrete human growth hormone (HGH). HGH assists in metabolizing body fat and helps to support new muscle tissue growth.

Precautions:
Glutamine is considered safe when used in accordance with proper dosing guidelines. However, a small number of people may experience headaches and other side effects with glutamine. People with kidney disease, liver disease, or Reye's syndrome should not take glutamine. Persons sensitive to monosodium glutamate (MSG) may also want to avoid glutamine supplements, since the body can convert glutamine into MSG.
