L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Although the body produces glutamine during periods of extreme stress (such as after very intense exercise or an injury), under certain circumstances, the body may need more glutamine than it can produce. Most glutamine is stored in the muscles, followed by the lungs, where a large portion of glutamine is produced. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (https://umm.edu.com), glutamine functions as an important compound for removing excess ammonia (a common waste product in the body). It also aids in immune system functions and appears to be necessary for normal brain function and digestion. Glutamine helps protect the gastrointestinal lining and is a major fuel for enterocytes. It also supports tissues in the body that undergo rapid turnover, such as intestinal cells (intestinal epithelium). High cortisol levels during periods of stress can deplete the body's glutamine stores.
