Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances Glutamine may be considered a conditionally essential amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and also aids rapidly growing cells (immune system hymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes). In addition Glutamine is a regulator of acid-base balance and a nitrogen transporter.Contains no: sugar salt starch yeast wheat gluten corn soy milk egg or preservatives.Warnings: Caution: Please discard the inedible freshness packet enclosed.
