What is Glutamine?
Glutamine is an amino acid that serves as a building block of protein and plays essential roles in the immune and digestive systems. This supplement is critical for healing the gut, enhancing muscle recovery, and stabilizing blood sugar levels.
For optimal benefits, glutamine should be taken on an empty stomach or post-workout for better absorption. Start with 5 grams per day, adjusting as needed for gut health or exercise recovery.
While the body can produce enough glutamine for normal functions, certain conditions—such as intense physical exercise or injury—can deplete levels. Foods like wheat, peanuts, corn, and milk are good sources, though supplementation can provide a higher, more targeted dose when needed.
When choosing a glutamine supplement, quality is key. I recommend Titan Nutrition's - Glutamine (email us at info@strengthandgracefitness.com and I will give you our code to save 20% off and get free shipping), a pure, high-quality glutamine supplement that supports gut health, muscle recovery, and blood sugar balance. I’ve seen incredible results in both myself and my clients using this product. Simply add 1 scoop (5 grams) daily into any shake, smoothie or yogurt bowl.
