Glutamine per Exercise-Induced Immune Suppression

B Evidenze Almeno un trial randomizzato lo supporta, con risultati per lo più coerenti.

Glutamine is part of clinical immunonutrition protocols. Depletion during intense exercise is associated with increased infection risk. Supplementation may help support gut barrier integrity and immune cell metabolism during heavy training periods.
