Himalayan Organics L-Glutamine 5000mg – 250g Powder

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body and the primary fuel source for intestinal epithelial cells and immune cells. Under conditions of physiological stress — including intense exercise, illness, or caloric restriction — the body’s demand for glutamine can exceed its capacity for synthesis, making dietary supplementation particularly valuable for maintaining gut integrity, immune function, and recovery.

In the gut, L-Glutamine serves as the preferred energy substrate for enterocytes (intestinal cells), maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining. A robust intestinal barrier is fundamental to preventing unwanted substances from crossing into the bloodstream and is essential for optimal nutrient absorption. Athletes and active individuals use glutamine extensively for gut support during heavy training periods, when the intestinal barrier is particularly susceptible to permeability changes.

For sports performance, L-Glutamine supports muscle protein synthesis, helps preserve muscle glycogen, and assists in reducing exercise-induced muscle damage markers. It also plays a key role in maintaining immune function during heavy training loads, when immune suppression is a recognised risk for high-performance athletes.

Himalayan Organics L-Glutamine provides 5g of pure, pharmaceutical-grade L-Glutamine per serving as an unflavoured powder that dissolves easily in water or any beverage. Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility with certificate of analysis for purity and amino acid profile verification. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
