Peptide Bonded Glutamine
Of all the amino acids in the human body, glutamine comprises more than 50%. glutamine is important for immune system function and in maintaining digestive health. Although the human body is capable of manufacturing glutamine from other amino acids, studies have shown that people under stress (defined as persons suffering from chronic illness or hard training athletes) should supplement their diets with 20 grams of glutamine per day (in doses of 3 to 4 grams). Free form amino acids are poorly formed if they are consumed at the same time as other amino acids or proteins. Numerous studies have proven that peptide bonded amino acids (those amino acids attached to at least one other amino acid by a peptide bond) are significantly better absorbed into the blood stream. Peptide bonded glutamine is better absorbed than L-glutamine when mixed into protein powders.
