Glutamine


Glutamine is a tripeptide.  Glutamine consist of three kinds of amino acids:  Glycine, NAC and Glutamine.  These amino acids are used in the production of Glutathione.  The help to detox the body, protects the body from damage such as from radiation and alcohol damage and more.  This is especially important when converting the toxic material known as homocysteine to cysteine.  If you are taking any prescription medicines you may wish to up your NAC for instance to help detox the body.

Glutamine is necessary to create Glutathione.  Glutothione helps the to body to build and repair itself.  If your Glutathione is low you will not be able to heal as well.  Although the body can make Glutathione  you can increase you Glutathione by taking supplements and eating the right foods that contain Glutamine.

One of the best sources of Glutamine is whey protein.  You can also get Glutamine from vegetables like cabbage and spinach.  If  you do supplement with Glutathione you should take 2.5 to 5 grams per day in a smoothie or water.  If you are  having  surgery or if you are an athletic person you will want to increase your Glutamine intake.
