L-GLUTAMINE
L-Glutamine is found in
amino acid supplements
and also in foods like eggs,
poultry, avocados and oats,
L-glutamine maintains the
functioning of the lining of
the gut! This is because
glutamine is actually a main
fuel source for the cells
lining the intestines! It
helps to increase the
absorption of nutrients
through the intestinal tract,
and also supports the
healing and tightening of
the cells – helping to
decrease intestinal
permeability that could
otherwise lead to food
allergies and greater
autoimmune problems!
   In
addition to those nutrients,
incorporating a boost of
immune system support on
occasion can be beneficial
to keep illness away so we
can keep working on
improving show to show!
