What is glutamine?

Glutamine is one of the so-called non-essential amino acids. This means that the body can produce glutamine itself from other amino acids if required. Glutamine is the amino acid that is present in the body in the highest amount in free form. It makes up 20 % of the free am ino acids in the amino acid pool of blood plasma. In the skeletal muscles it is even 50 to 60 % (1). These high amounts of free glutamine are related to the fact that the body requires large amounts of glutamine for many functions. The immune system and the digestive system are particularly dependent on glutamine (2). Glutamine also plays an important role in the body's protein metabolism (3). Even though the body can in principle produce glutamine itself when required, there are situations in which it develops an increased need. These situations include factors such as severe stress, illness and intensive training sessions (4). Scientific studies have also shown that glutamine levels in the body can be reduced by up to 50 % after an intensive training session (5). After physical exertion, scientific studies have also shown that it can take several hours for glutamine levels to return to normal (6). However, studies have shown that oral glutamine supplementation can cover the body's increased glutamine requirements. This prevented the breakdown of muscle protein in the test subjects and at the same time optimized protein metabolism (7). In studies that combined glutamine with glucose, plasma glutamine levels were found to increase by up to 200% (8)

What other benefits does glutamine have?

The immune system, with its rapidly multiplying cells, relies on glutamine to function properly. According to studies, a glutamine deficiency sometimes resulted in a reduced amount of protective T cells and reduced the ability of phagocytes to destroy bacteria and viruses in the test subjects (9). This is particularly critical in athletes, as intensive training sessions have had a negative effect on the immune system of test subjects in a large number of studies. This significantly increased their susceptibility to infectious diseases (10). However, scientific studies have shown that glutamine supplementation after strenuous exercise can help to strengthen the immune system of the test group and significantly reduce the risk of infectious diseases (11,12). A scientific study also linked glutamine to the release of growth hormones. In this study, the isolated administration of glutamine on an empty stomach was able to increase the body's own growth hormone release of the test subjects by up to 400% (13). A dose of 2 grams of glutamine was sufficient to achieve this effect. Muscle cell volume is also influenced by the glutamine content in the body. Similar to creatine, glutamine has the ability to draw water into the muscle cells and was therefore able to increase the volume of muscle cells in a group of test subjects as part of a study (3). An increase in muscle cell volume makes the muscles appear plumper and fuller. It also has an actual effect on muscle growth (14). Glutamine therefore has several potential anabolic effects, all of which have been demonstrated in test subjects in studies. However, the results that have already been obtained on glutamine do not end there. Scientific studies have shown that glutamine can improve glycogen synthesis after training, helping to replenish glycogen stores depleted by training more quickly (6,16). This in turn resulted in faster recovery in the test subjects. The benefits that accelerated regeneration can bring are obvious

Scientific studies have therefore demonstrated a whole range of positive effects that glutamine can have on the human body.
