GUT HEALTH AMINO ACID
L-Glutamine
for pets
L-Glutamine for pets is an essential amino acid for gut integrity, digestive recovery and immune support
L-Glutamine is the primary energy source for intestinal epithelial cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining gut integrity, supporting tissue repair and promoting healthy immune function.
What is L-Glutamine for pets?
L-Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids found in the body and serves as the preferred fuel source for intestinal epithelial cells, also known as enterocytes.
The gut lining is constantly exposed to dietary changes, environmental stress and microbial challenges. L-Glutamine helps support the renewal and maintenance of these cells, making it a key ingredient for digestive health and intestinal resilience.
Because a large portion of the immune system is located within the gastrointestinal tract, L-Glutamine is also valued for its indirect role in supporting immune function.
