L-Glutamine Uses

L-Glutamine is used in the treatment of nutritional deficiencies.

How L-Glutamine works

L-Glutamine is the supplement form of the amino acid glutamine. It prevents damage to red blood cells. L-Glutamine increases the free glutamine levels circulating in the blood. Sickle cells can uptake this free glutamine and use it to produce antioxidant substances. These antioxidants can help neutralize the oxidative stress in sickle cells. This can allow them to regain the flexibility needed to travel through blood vessels and capillaries, carrying oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
