Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid and the most abundant amino acid within the human body and muscle cells. It is considered non-essential because it is made within the body. Essential nutrients are ESSENTIAL since they must be consumed in the diet as the body is incapable of making them. 

Glutamine has many benefits, including, but not limited to: 

• Facilitates nutrient absorption
• Regulates muscle growth
• Stimulates growth hormone production
• Limits cortisol production
• Regenerates ATP
• Boosts the immune system
• Assists in liver detoxification
• Removes Ammonia and waste products  
• Hydrates muscle cells
• Aids in brain function
• decreases inflammation
• supports gut health.
• promotes tissue healing (Glutamine is so effective in healing, it is even used in hospitals for burn victims for its tissue healing properties.)
