Glutamine

What are the benefits of L-glutamine?

Glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid and often sold in various formulations in health food stores. It is sold as a cure for everything under the sun. In reality it is only of use in patients with cancer and those who are on long term IV nutrition. If you are able to eat, then I suggest you consume fruits and vegetables and that will give you more glutamine you need. There is zero need for glutamine supplements for all healthy people.
