Glutagenics™
features three key ingredients-glutamine, deglycyrrhizinized licorice (DGL), and aloe-that comprehensively support
the integrity and optimal function of the gastrointestinal lining. These ingredients are supplied in powder form,
for excellent tolerance and ease of use. A healthy intestinal lining is essential for proper digestion, immune
function, liver function, and overall health, primarily through its role as a barrier preventing the absorption
of unwanted molecules into the systemic circulation. Unfortunately, the intestinal lining is vulnerable to a variety
of insults, such as poor diet, caffeine and alcohol consumption, and NSAID use. Therefore, it is important to provide
support for this delicate mucosal environment to ensure its optimal integrity and function.
Glutamine-The most abundant amino acid in the human
body, glutamine plays a central role in numerous metabolic processes. It serves as a primary fuel for the rapidly
dividing cells of the intestinal mucosa and immune system; it augments the effects of growth factors that govern
cellular proliferation; it enhances the function of the intestinal barrier; and it transports as much as 40% of
whole blood amino acid nitrogen. These properties make glutamine essential for maintaining the integrity of the
intestinal mucosa, for promoting an optimal immune response, and for supporting muscle recovery as an anticatabolic
nutrient
