Glutamine is particularly important for the health of the gut with the cells of the gut lining obtaining much of their growth material through utilising glutamine as a fuel. This is why, out of the 20 amino acids, glutamine, is often referred to as the gut restorer amongst practitioners & is frequently recommended when the integrity of the gut wall is compromised, as is often the case in conditions caused by microflora imbalances & some chronic conditions associated with poor gut function.
