Healing Leaky Gut Is Only One Of Glutamine's Strengths

Healing Leaky Gut Is Only One Of Glutamine's Strengths

Glutamine plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle growth, immune system function, and gut health. Explore the benefits of glutamine and how it can positively impact your health - including leaky gut syndrome - and fitness goals.

Leaky gut syndrome is a condition where the gut lining becomes more permeable than it should be, allowing toxins and other harmful substances to enter the bloodstream which can lead to a range of symptoms, including digestive issues, food sensitivities, and autoimmune disorders.

If you’ve searched for anything related to healing leaky gut, glutamine is a supplement that is often brought up. Many claims say that glutamine can heal your gut and improve your health. But what exactly is glutamine, and how can it help relieve and heal digestive issues like leaky gut?

Today, we’re talking about how to use glutamine, how it works to heal gut-related issues, and if this could be what you need in your diet to start feeling amazing.

What is Glutamine Used For?

Did you know that athletes and bodybuilders regularly use glutamine as a supplement to improve muscle recovery and reduce muscle breakdown? 

When you engage in intense physical activity your muscles undergo stress and damage. Glutamine helps repair and rebuild your muscles, reducing the time it takes to recover after a workout. It also alleviates muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing you to train harder and more frequently. 

It also helps to reduce muscle breakdown, which is especially important for those looking to build and maintain muscle mass. During intense workouts, your body may break down muscle tissue to use as fuel, but glutamine helps prevent this by providing your muscles with an alternative energy source. 

Lastly, glutamine plays a vital role in maintaining the health of your immune system by supporting the production of white blood cells and T-cells, which are essential for fighting off infections, illness, and wound healing.

How Can Glutamine Heal Leaky Gut?

The lining of the gut is made up of cells that are held together by tight junctions. When these junctions become compromised, it can result in a leaky gut. 

Glutamine works to protect the gastrointestinal epithelium inside the gut, which serves as a barrier to the diffusion of allergens, toxins, and pathogens from the luminal contents into the interstitial tissue. 

Through research, we can see that glutamine can help repair these junctions. When the cells lining the gut are damaged, they require more fuel to repair and regenerate. Supplementing with glutamine can help provide the necessary energy for these cells, aiding in the healing process. 

It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial in reducing leaky gut symptoms and overall gut health. But it's not just leaky gut that glutamine can help. It includes other bowel-related conditions such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Where Can I Find Glutamine Sources?

Glutamine is an amino acid - an essential building block of protein. If you’re trying to add more glutamine to your diet, consider adding nuts and seeds, tofu, leafy green vegetables, and red cabbage to your diet.

It’s also found in meat, dairy, eggs, and seafood. 

However, if you find that your gut needs extra help, consider adding a glutamine powder to your diet. Check out our Gut Integrity formula. It contains the essential amino acids your body needs to maintain the balance your gut needs to heal and thrive.

Simply mix it into your water once or twice a day and feel the benefits.
