Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (protein building block) in the body and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Glutamine is converted to glucose when more glucose is required by the body as an energy source. Glutamine serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines. Without glutamine, these cells waste away. It’s also used by white blood cells and is important for immune function. In research, glutamine has anti-inflammatory effects.

Glutamine in combination with N-acetyl cysteine promotes the synthesis of glutathione, a naturally occurring antioxidant that is protective in people with HIV infection. Evidence indicates that critically ill people are more likely to survive with glutamine supplementation.
