L-Glutamine is a key component in the maintenance of healthy intestinal mucosa. A lack of glutamine may lead to a loss of enterocyte (cells in the small intestine) integrity in the lining of the intestines, which may affect digestion and absorption or allow pathogens into the body. L-Glutamine can readily pass the blood-brain barrier and is used as fuel for the brain. L-Glutamine also supports GABA levels, which is needed to sustain proper brain function and mental activity.
