Product Overview

L-Glutamine (Cas No.: 56-85-9)  is the most abundant free amino acid in human body and a widely used conditionally essential amino acid. It is produced by microbial fermentation and supplied as white crystalline powder. L-Glutamine plays an important role in intestinal health, immune support, muscle metabolism and post-workout recovery. It is widely applied in sports nutrition, functional food, dietary supplements, health ingredients and clinical nutrition formulations.

 

Character

L-Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid with high solubility and good stability under proper storage conditions. It is the most abundant free amino acid in human body and involved in many key metabolic processes. It is produced by microbial fermentation with high purity and consistent batch quality.

 

Main Functions

1.Intestinal Health Support — supports intestinal mucosal integrity and normal digestive function

2.Immune System Support — provides nutritional support for immune-related cells

3.Muscle Metabolism & Recovery — helps maintain muscle tissue and supports post-workout recovery
