• Feature: One of its main functions is to serve as a carrier of the main amino acid nitrogen in the body. It is a transporter of nitrogen, an essential component of many biological processes. Additionally, L-glutamine is the primary energy source for many types of cells, ensuring they have the energy they need to function optimally.; L-Glutamine is essential for maintaining the delicate balance of ammonia in the body. This balance is critical to preventing toxic ammonia levels. Another important function of L-glutamine is its contribution to providing nitrogen for a variety of anabolic processes. These processes are essential for building key molecules, including purines, which are essential for DNA production. This amino acid also provides carbon to supplement the citric acid cycle, a process central to energy production within cells.
