What is glutamine and how does it relate to immune function?

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and serves as a primary fuel source for immune cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages. During periods of physiological stress, glutamine demand may exceed the body's production capacity.

What dosage of glutamine has been studied for immune support?

Clinical trials have used L-glutamine at doses of 5–30 g per day, depending on the clinical context. For exercise-related immune suppression, doses of 5–10 g per day are common. Higher doses are used in critical care settings under medical supervision.

What are the potential side effects of glutamine supplementation?

Glutamine is generally well tolerated at doses up to 30 g per day in healthy adults. Side effects may include bloating and gastrointestinal discomfort. Individuals with liver disease, kidney disease, or seizure disorders should consult a doctor before use.
