This supplement helps with:<\/strong> recurrent diarrhea, a gut that does not recover after illness or antibiotics, increased intestinal permeability and muscle loss in chronically ill animals. Core component of phase 2 of the NGD Care Bowel Protocol. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How does L-Glutamine work?<\/h2>\n

L-Glutamine is the primary fuel for the cells of the intestinal wall. These cells completely renew themselves every three to five days and need enormous amounts of energy and building materials to do so. Glutamine provides both. Without enough glutamine, the intestinal wall weakens and substances that should not pass through leak through. <\/p>\n

In case of illness, chronic intestinal complaints, surgery or prolonged stress, the own production falls short while the need increases. At that point, glutamine is conditionally essential. Supplementation helps repair the intestinal wall from the inside out and support the immune system in the gut. <\/p>\n

Glutamine is also the precursor of glutathione, the most powerful endogenous antioxidant, and thus indirectly helps the liver in detoxification. In cachexia due to cancer or chronic disease, glutamine inhibits muscle breakdown and protects the intestinal wall at the same time. <\/p>\n
