Description
L-Glutamine is an amino acid; a building block of protein and critical part of the immune system as it’s a critical fuel source for immune cells, including white blood cells.
What’s more, glutamine has a special role in intestinal health by repairing and building of new muscle and assists in strengthening and sealing gaps in the gut lining so particularly useful for people suffering from IBS, leaky gut syndrome, autoimmune diseases and acid reflux.
How do I know if I have leaky gut?
- There is a good chance you have leaky gut (ie increased permeability or ‘leakiness’ of the intestinal wall) if you suffer occasionally from:
- Multiple food intolerances and/or allergies
- Digestion problems like bloating, gas, diarrhea, IBS, SIBO, candida overgrowth etc
- Autoimmune conditions – eg alopecia & psoriasis.
- And/or mind issues – eg mood swings, depression, brain fog etc. This is an unsurprising symptom of leaky gut given it is estimated that 90% of the “happy hormone” serotonin is made in the gut.
Taking this L-Glutamine supplement will aid a healthy gut and immune system as 70% of the immune system is located in the gastrointestinal tract. This will lead to increased immunity, decreased allergies, improved brain health and antioxidant function, and enhanced nutrition absorption which can help with promoting natural hair growth and healthy skin.
An extra benefit of taking L-Glutamine is it has been shown to help sugar/carb cravings and Sara G Allison advises keeping your intake of these to a minimum. Take daily or just a teaspoon when you experience a craving.
A powder supplement is superior to capsules as it makes it easier to take the necessary amount. The powder is in the natural ‘L free form’ which means it is ready to be easily absorbed and used by the body. To take, use 1 heaped teaspoon mixed with water or juice twice daily. It is best taken on an empty stomach. Hair Today More Tomorrow’s L-Glutamine supplement is vegan, kosher, not tested on animals, 100% active ingredients, no additives and non-irradiated.
