Glutamine: The key amino acid for digestive health

Glutamine digestive health

Glutamine is known primarily for its role in muscle regeneration. However, its importance in digestive health is equally remarkable, being fundamental to protect and repair the gastrointestinal system.

Below, we will explore what glutamine is, its digestive benefits and how to effectively incorporate it into your daily routine.

What is Glutamine?

Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that our body produces naturally. However, in situations of stress, illness or nutritional imbalances, needs may exceed production, making it a conditionally essential amino acid.

At the molecular level, glutamine acts as a nitrogen transporter, key to protein synthesis and maintenance of the intestinal mucosa.

Natural sources of Glutamine

Glutamine is found in both animal and plant foods:

  • Meat and fish: chicken, beef, pork, seafood.
  • Dairy products: Milk, yogurt and cheese.
  • Green vegetables: spinach, kale.
  • Legumes: Beans, lentils and chickpeas.
  • Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts and chia seeds.

If diet is not enough, you can opt for glutamine supplements, such as those available at JustLoading:

Benefits of Glutamine on digestive health

1. Repair of the intestinal mucosa

Glutamine strengthens and repairs the intestinal mucosa, essential to protect the digestive tract from infections and damage. Its use is key in inflammatory diseases such as colitis or irritable bowel situations.

2. Strengthening of the immune system

The intestine contains most of our immune cells. Glutamine helps regulate and strengthen the intestinal immune system, reducing inflammation and promoting an adequate response.

3. Prevention of leaky gut

Glutamine helps to keep the intestinal barrier intact, preventing leaky gut, where toxins and unwanted particles pass into the bloodstream, causing inflammation.

4. Improved nutrient absorption

A healthy intestinal mucosa favors the correct absorption of vitamins and minerals. Glutamine contributes to optimize nutritional status.

5. Reduction of IBS symptoms (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Studies suggest that glutamine helps relieve symptoms of IBS, such as bloating and abdominal pain, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties.

How to take glutamine in your daily life?

Incorporating glutamine is simple:

  • Recommended dose: 5g daily (approximately 1 scoop) dissolved in 200ml of water.
  • Ideal times:
    • Upon waking.
    • Before or after training.
    • Before going to sleep.

Can it be combined with other supplements?

Yes, glutamine can be mixed with:

  • Creatine.
  • BCAAs.
  • Protein shakes.
  • Vitamin C
