Studio : Self Health Resource Center Publisher : Self Health Resource Center Binding : Health and Beauty Product Description Glutamine is an amino acid-the most abundant amino acid in the blood steam. It's considered a conditionally essential amino acid because the body can make glutamine, but typically not in sufficient amounts during times of stress, which can be brought on by trauma, illness, or physical exertion. Every cell needs glutamine as both a source of energy and for proper cell division.* Glutamine helps to regulate the cells of the digestive tract and strengthens the lining of the gut. It also plays a role in maintaining the health of the liver, pancreas, esophagus, and mouth-all important in the digestion process.* Glutamine is helpful for dealing with loose stools, as it diminishes the loss of electrolytes and water from the intestines.* 0
