L-Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid and the most abundant free amino acid in human blood and muscle tissue. It plays critical roles in immune function, intestinal health, nitrogen transport, and acid-base balance.
In the sports nutrition industry, L-Glutamine is widely used for muscle recovery and immune support during intense training periods. It is produced commercially through microbial fermentation using glucose as the primary carbon source. L-Glutamine's importance in clinical nutrition for critically ill patients and those undergoing major surgery has also driven substantial pharmaceutical-grade demand.
