Description

Glutamine is one of 20 naturally occurring amino acids in dietary protein. In fact, L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the bloodstream and makes up 30–35 percent of the amino acid nitrogen in your blood. It’s actually known as a conditionally essential amino acid because your body uses it in large amounts. 

What does ‘conditionally essential amino acid’ mean? It refers to the amino acid becoming essential when the individual faces disease or specifically muscle wasting, which can happen in the course of certain diseases or even physical trauma. It also becomes a conditionally essential nutrient during certain catabolic states, including after bone marrow transplantation. 

Found in both animal and plant proteins, it’s also available in supplement form and is widely popular in the fitness community and beyond. It’s found in high levels in both casein and whey protein.
