Glutamine 5000 (Powder)

Glutamine 5000 Powder, from Vitobest®, contains 100% L-Glutamine from Ajinomoto®, a recognized brand that only uses amino acids obtained through vegetable fermentation. This ingredient, widely used in sports nutrition, contributes to protein synthesis, the transfer of nitrogen between organs and tissues, and prevents muscle protein catabolism.

Also, several studies affirm that it is the main source of energy for the cells that line the wall of the intestine (enterocytes), which reinforces its function as an intestinal barrier (helps to avoid the effects of leaky gut)^1,2,3. L-Glutamine also helps maintain the physiological pH of the body⁴ and the proper functioning of the immune system⁵.
