Multiple studies have proven glutamine’s ability to speed recovery after surgery. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, but deficiencies can occur during metabolic stress.

People who should not use Glutamine are those with end-stage liver or kidney disease where all excess protein must be avoided.
