L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that plays a key role in gut lining repair. The cells that line your intestines (enterocytes) use glutamine as a main fuel source, helping maintain barrier integrity and reduce “leaky gut.”
Does it really work?
Yes. Research supports glutamine for healing the gut lining after stress, illness, or injury. It may also help reduce gut permeability and improve recovery in people with gut disorders. Benefits are most clear when the gut lining is compromised.
Can I get enough in real food?
Yes. Glutamine is found in protein-rich foods like chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, and cabbage. Most people get some from their diet, but supplementation provides higher doses for gut repair.
Do I need a supplement for everyday health?
No, not for everyone. L-Glutamine is best for people recovering from gut damage, chronic stress, or illness. It isn’t necessary if your digestion is healthy and protein intake is adequate.
