Our intestines use 40% of the body's L-glutamine supply. When stress, disease or physical injury occur, much more is needed. Not only does glutamine repair leaky gut and prevent pathogens from entering the blood, it removes excess ammonia from the body and brain where it can cause tissue damage.
Glutamine passes across the blood-brain barrier and helps provide the necessary fuel needed for proper brain function. It is the precursor to GABA and the antioxidant glutathione.
A shortage of L- Glutamine can reduce IQ levels. L- Glutamine supplementation has been shown to increase IQ levels in some mentally deficient children. L- Glutamine is brain fuel. It feeds the brain cells, allowing them to fire on all cylinders. A deficiency in L- Glutamine can result in “foggy thinking” and fatigue.
Individuals with “Fibro fog” may benefit tremendously from this essential amino acid.
Even a small shortage of L- Glutamine will produce unwarranted feelings of insecurity and anxiousness. Other symptoms include continual fatigue, depression, and occasionally impotence.
If we have trouble in our intestines, such as yeast overgrowth damaging the lining, more glutamine will be pooled their to repair things, and less available to the brain. A supplement may be in order for these circumstances.
Thank you and good night.
