THE MOST ABUNDANT AMINO ACID IN THE BODY

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in ourbody. It is necessary in many reactions,contributing to muscle health, servingas an energy source for intestinal cellsand the immune system, among other functions.

Although it is produced from other amino acidsand, therefore, classified as "non-essential",studies show that it can be conditionallyessential in specific cases.

ESSENTIAL IN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS

According to the article “Is Glutamine a ConditionallyEssential Amino Acid?”, published in the scientificjournal Nutrition Reviews, glutamine acquiresthis property in stressful situations, such asmajor surgeries, various health complications,intense exercise, among others.

This occurs because, in these cases, the amountproduced by the body may not be sufficientto meet metabolic demands,and this is when obtaining it through foodor supplementation becomes relevant.

MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS FOR THE BODY'S FUNCTIONING

A study published in the journal Nutrients in 2018reports that glutamine is an amino acid widelyused by cells in protein synthesis, beingone of the preferred sources for this purpose.

An article published in 2012 by the Journal ofEpithelial Biology and Pharmacology demonstrates thatglutamine serves as an energy substratefor intestinal mucosal cells and aids inthe preservation of healthy intestinal permeability,important so that unwanted moleculesdo not reach the bloodstream, only selectedand beneficial nutrients.

Published by the European Journal of Applied PhysiologyPhysiology in 2017, another study, this timeconducted with runners, showed that the effortrequired by physical activity tends to alter intestinalpermeability and concluded: “together,our data suggest that acute glutamine supplementation(even at a low dose of 0.25 gkg−1) can reduce intestinal permeability andpost-exercise damage. (...) Athletes competingin the heat may therefore benefitfrom acute glutamine supplementation beforeexercise to maintain gastrointestinal integrity.”

PROPER DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION ARE THE BIGGEST ALLIES
