L-Glutamine: Fuel for a Healthy Gut

When it comes to digestive wellness, few nutrients are as well-researched and essential as L-glutamine. As the most abundant amino acid in the human body, L-glutamine plays a vital role in maintaining the structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract. For those looking to support gut health, this nutrient is a powerhouse.

L-glutamine serves as the primary fuel source for intestinal cells, especially enterocytes, which line the gut wall. By feeding and strengthening these cells, glutamine helps maintain the integrity of the gut lining — an important barrier that prevents toxins, pathogens, and undigested food particles from leaking into the bloodstream. This “protective wall” function is key in reducing inflammation, promoting nutrient absorption, and supporting overall digestive balance.

In addition to maintaining gut barrier integrity, L-glutamine also supports immune function. Since nearly 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, providing the right fuel for intestinal cells helps ensure your immune system stays resilient. Research has also shown glutamine’s role in reducing gut permeability and soothing digestive stress, making it particularly valuable for those with digestive challenges, intense training schedules, or high-stress lifestyles.

That’s why we’ve included a clinically relevant dose of 3 grams of L-glutamine per scoop in GutMEND®. This generous serving ensures your gut cells receive the nourishment they need for daily repair, resilience, and optimal function. Combined with other synergistic gut-supporting ingredients, GutMEND® provides a comprehensive approach to digestive wellness — helping you feel balanced from the inside out.
