Glutamine 5000 (Capsules)

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

Several studies also affirm that it is the main energy source for the cells that cover 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 to maintain the physiological pH of the organism⁴ and the proper functioning of the immune system⁵.
