How do Glutamine supplements work?Updated a year ago

The form of glutamine found in foods and supplements is called L-Glutamine. It is used to help make proteins while performing other functions within your body. As the most abundant amino acid in the blood, glutamine is important for the health of your immune system and may decrease infections.
