L - Glutamine

Please also see Dr Slagle's Newsletter on Glutamine

The two amino acids Dr. Slagle most frequently prescribes in her practice are L-glutamine & L-tyrosine. Though glutamine has multiple functions, as you will see, the benefits she is most often looking to achieve when recommending glutamine are helping mood, focus, concentration & memory, & elevated energy. Glutamine is often depleted in those with yeast overgrowth, the depletion of which is partially responsible for the "brain fog" in those individuals.*

Glutamine plays a key role in the metabolism, structure & function of the entire gastrointestinal tract. It is the primary energy source for the cells that line your intestines & is essential to keeping them healthy.*

Potential uses of glutamine:
