The Most Abundant Amino Acid - Essential for Recovery & Health

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body, making up over 60% of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle. While your body can produce glutamine, during times of intense physical stress (exercise, illness, injury), demand exceeds production, making supplementation essential. Our 100% plant-based L-Glutamine is a premium dietary sports supplement designed to prevent muscle catabolism, promote fat metabolism, enhance recovery, support digestive health, treat leaky gut, boost immune function, and improve overall health and performance.

Premium Quality 100% Plant-Based L-Glutamine

Pure L-Glutamine Powder - Vegan & Plant-Based

Our L-Glutamine is derived entirely from plant sources through fermentation, making it suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone seeking clean, plant-based nutrition. Unlike animal-derived amino acids, our plant-based glutamine is pure, highly bioavailable, and free from animal products, hormones, or contaminants. Each capsule delivers pharmaceutical-grade L-Glutamine for maximum effectiveness.

Why L-Glutamine is Essential

Our body needs to supplement its glutamine levels because glutamine is used for many critical life processes including protein synthesis for muscle building and repair, immune cell fuel (glutamine is the primary fuel for white blood cells and intestinal cells), gut lining maintenance and repair, nitrogen transport between tissues, acid-base balance regulation, and neurotransmitter production for brain function. During intense exercise, illness, or stress, glutamine stores become depleted faster than the body can replenish them, making supplementation crucial for optimal recovery and health.

Scientifically-Supported Health Benefits of L-Glutamine

• Protects Lean Muscle & Prevents Catabolism: L-Glutamine is a powerful anti-catabolic agent that prevents muscle breakdown during and after intense exercise. When glutamine levels are adequate, your body doesn't need to break down muscle tissue to obtain this critical amino acid. Supplementation helps preserve hard-earned muscle mass, supports muscle protein synthesis, prevents exercise-induced muscle degradation, and maintains positive nitrogen balance for muscle growth.
• Enhanced Post-Workout Recovery: L-Glutamine is essential for optimal recovery after training. It accelerates muscle repair and regeneration, reduces muscle soreness and recovery time, replenishes depleted glutamine stores after intense exercise, supports glycogen replenishment for energy restoration, and helps you bounce back faster for your next training session. Athletes and bodybuilders consider glutamine a foundational recovery supplement.
• Supports Immune Function: Glutamine is the primary fuel source for immune cells, particularly lymphocytes and macrophages. Intense exercise temporarily suppresses immune function, and glutamine supplementation helps maintain immune cell activity during training stress, reduce illness frequency in athletes, support recovery from infections, and strengthen overall immune resilience. This is particularly important for athletes who train intensely and are susceptible to upper respiratory infections.
• Treats Leaky Gut & Improves Digestive Health: L-Glutamine is the preferred fuel for intestinal cells (enterocytes) that line your gut. It's one of the most effective natural treatments for leaky gut syndrome (increased intestinal permeability). Glutamine helps repair and maintain the intestinal barrier, prevent toxins and undigested food from entering the bloodstream, reduce intestinal inflammation, support healing of the gut lining, and improve overall digestive function. Many practitioners consider glutamine essential for gut healing protocols.
• Promotes Fat Metabolism & Weight Management: L-Glutamine supports healthy body composition by promoting fat metabolism and utilization, helping maintain lean muscle mass during calorie restriction, supporting growth hormone production (which aids fat burning), reducing sugar and carbohydrate cravings, and supporting metabolic health. Preserving muscle while losing fat is key to successful, sustainable weight management.
• Boosts Brain Function & Mental Clarity: Glutamine crosses the blood-brain barrier and serves as a precursor to the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. It supports cognitive function and mental clarity, helps maintain focus and concentration, supports mood regulation and emotional balance, provides fuel for brain cells, and may help reduce brain fog and mental fatigue.
• Supports Overall Health & Vitality: Beyond specific benefits, glutamine is involved in countless bodily processes. Regular supplementation supports cellular health and function, aids in wound healing and tissue repair, supports healthy aging, enhances overall vitality and well-being, and provides foundational support for optimal health.

For Immune Support: Take 2 capsules daily, particularly during periods of intense training or illness recovery.

Best Results: Consistent daily use provides optimal benefits. For gut healing, allow 4-8 weeks of consistent supplementation. For athletic recovery, benefits are often noticed within days to weeks.

Important Safety Information

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you:

• Are taking chronic medication, particularly blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants)
• Are pregnant or trying to conceive
• Are nursing or breastfeeding
• Have liver or kidney disease
• Have a history of seizures or neurological conditions

Important Notes:

• If any allergy symptoms occur (rash, itching, difficulty breathing), discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice
