L-Glutamine 1000 mg Tablets are a part of Solgar’s premium-quality amino acid product range, containing the essential amino acid L-Glutamine, which is required by every muscle in the body. Amino acids serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins and play vital roles in numerous internal bodily functions.

Amino acids are categorized as either “essential” or “non-essential.” Essential amino acids are those the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained from the diet to maintain overall health. These amino acids are further used by the body to create various substances like hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies, and nutrient transporters. When essential amino acids are insufficient in the diet, the body’s demand for non-essential amino acids increases, either through dietary sources or supplementation. Foods rich in amino acids include items like meat, beans, cheese, and eggs.

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid and is found in significant quantities in the muscles, comprising about 60% of the total amino acid content in muscle tissue. While it is considered a non-essential amino acid because the body can synthesize it, there are situations where the demand for glutamine surges. For instance, during intense physical activity, stress is placed on the body, causing depletion of glutamine stores as muscles and tendons require more of this amino acid. To prevent muscle breakdown in such situations, it becomes necessary to obtain glutamine from the diet or through supplementation.

Natural dietary sources of glutamine include grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, cottage cheese, asparagus, and broccoli. Even if you maintain a diet rich in glutamine-containing foods or use whey powder to bolster your glutamine levels, a supplement can be beneficial. L-Glutamine 1000 mg is typically taken in a daily dosage of 1-2 tablets.
