Glutamine benefits almost every cell in the body, synthesizing antioxidants like nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). Roughly 70 to 80 g of glutamine is in an adult body, and the body produces about 40 to 80 g per day.
Glutamine supports immune cells by providing energy to neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes. In immune cells, glutamine metabolism is critical in infections, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.
The liver is responsible for blood detoxification, bile production, and managing carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, drugs, blood p, and storing glycogen (energy stores).
A research study on mice showed that L-glutamine’s antioxidative properties increased other super antioxidants and weakened the risk of developing ischemic brain injury.
