Glutamine food supplement for normal bowel function . It is mainly recommended in cases of disruption of the integrity of the intestinal wall (such as in situations of imbalance of the intestinal flora or in certain chronic conditions accompanied by disorders of normal intestinal function). It is often used for recovery by athletes, since large amounts of glutamine are stored in the muscles, where it plays an important role in repairing and building new muscle tissue. Intense workouts can deplete glutamine reserves, so a supplement can accelerate their recovery.
