Glutamiinin

Glutamiinin is a naturally occurring amino acid found in the body and in foods. It is the most abundant free amino acid in human blood and plasma. Glutamiinin plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, including protein synthesis, immune function, and gut health.

During periods of physiological stress, such as illness, injury, or intense exercise, the body's demand for glutamiinin can increase. In these situations, glutamiinin is considered a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body may not be able to produce enough to meet its needs, and supplementation may be beneficial.

Glutamiinin is a primary fuel source for rapidly dividing cells, such as those in the immune system and the intestinal lining. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of the gut barrier, which prevents harmful substances from entering the bloodstream. It also plays a role in nitrogen transport and the synthesis of other amino acids and nucleotides.

Dietary sources of glutamiinin include meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, beans, and nuts. It is also available as a dietary supplement. While generally considered safe, individuals with certain medical conditions, such as kidney or liver disease, should consult a healthcare professional before taking glutamiinin supplements.
