L-Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a vital role in various metabolic processes. It is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and serves as a key energy source for cells, particularly in the intestines and immune system. L-Glutamine is important for protein synthesis, nitrogen transport, and maintaining acid-base balance. It also supports gut health and helps in the recovery of muscles after intense exercise.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals 

  • Nutritional & Medical Supplements: Used in formulations for wound healing, muscle recovery, and post-surgery recovery. Supports immune function in critically ill patients and those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Helps in treating intestinal disorders like leaky gut syndrome, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis.
  • Intravenous (IV) Nutrition: Used in parenteral nutrition for patients unable to absorb nutrients orally. Supports nitrogen balance and prevents muscle loss in hospitalized patients.
  • Neuroprotective Benefits: Studied for its role in brain health and as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases.Serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters like glutamate and GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), which regulate brain function.

2. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Sports & Energy Supplements: A key ingredient in protein powders, post-workout recovery drinks, and amino acid blends. Helps reduce muscle fatigue, soreness, and promotes faster recovery.
  • Fortified Foods & Beverages: Added to health drinks, protein bars, and meal replacement shakes to enhance nutritional value. Supports gut health by improving intestinal barrier function.
  • Infant Nutrition & Medical Foods: Used in infant formula and specialized diets for patients with digestive disorders or protein malabsorption issues.

3. Personal Care

  • Skin Hydration & Anti-Aging: Helps in collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines. Used in anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and skin repair creams.
  • Hair & Scalp Care: Strengthens hair follicles, promoting growth and reducing hair fall. Used in shampoos, conditioners, and scalp treatments for improving hair health.
  • Wound Healing & Skin Repair: Used in medicated creams and ointments for treating wounds, burns, and skin irritations.

4. Animal Nutrition 

  • Livestock & Poultry Feed: Supports gut integrity, preventing gastrointestinal disorders in pigs and chickens.Enhances immune function, reducing the need for antibiotics.
  • Aquaculture Nutrition: Improves the growth rate and survival of fish and shrimp. Enhances resistance to environmental stress and infections.

5. Chemical Synthesis

  • Biopharmaceutical Production: Used in cell culture media for the production of biologics, vaccines, and recombinant proteins. Essential for the growth of mammalian and bacterial cells in lab environments.
  • Fermentation Processes: Acts as a nitrogen source in the fermentation of amino acids, enzymes, and bioactive compounds.
