Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for cell formation and are also linked to the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, and antibodies.
Amino acids are classified as essential or non-essential. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained through food, while non-essential amino acids, although extremely important for health, can be synthesized in the body and are therefore not classified as "essential." LAMBERTS amino acids are present in "free form," meaning they are ready to be absorbed and utilized by the body (they do not need to be digested).
Glutamine is the most abundant naturally occurring nonessential amino acid in the body and can be derived from glutamic acid, another member of the amino acid family. Both glutamine and glutamic acid can be found in protein-rich foods such as red meat, nuts, and fish. Different tissues in the body have different L-glutamine requirements, with the intestinal cells being the most avid consumers, while muscles are high producers of L-glutamine.
LAMBERTS L-Glutamine powder is an easy and affordable way to supplement your diet with this fascinating amino acid, as the frequently recommended dose is 5 grams, an amount found in 10 capsules.
