L-Glutamine Amino Acid: The natural brain fuel supplement (as in Glutamic Acid).

Able to cross the blood brain barrier, L-glutamine is a versatile amino acid that provides natural back-up 'brain fuel' (as glutamic acid) and supports a wide range of other bodily processes. One of the bases in the synthesis of both DNA and RNA, L-glutamine is, perhaps, the singularly most important nutrient in gastro-intestinal health, has been studied for its effects in reducing sugar and alcohol cravings and even plays a role in weight maintenance by assisting to preserve lean tissue and helping rid the body of the waste products produced by fat metabolism.

L-glutamine makes up around 60% of the body's free amino acids and, under normal circumstances, is produced naturally. Under certain stressful conditions, however, it is thought that the body may require more L-glutamine than it can produce and, although it's found in a variety of foods, it's easily destroyed by cooking. Taking a quality supplement, therefore, can be a good way to ensure an adequate level of L-glutamine is ingested as part of your balanced diet.
