Information
Nutri Metagenics Glutagenics™ features three key ingredients –
l-glutamine, the bioflavonoid quercetin and zinc. Studies have shown that
this combination may together comprehensively support the integrity and
optimal function of the gastrointestinal tract. Glutagenics also contains
Sustamine® (l-alanyl-l-glutamine). Research has shown Sustamine®
helps to increase absorption of l-glutamine.This is a gentle, yet powerful
synergistic blend.
L-Glutamine is the most abundant naturally occurring non-essential amino
acid in the body, and it may be made from another amino acid, glutamic
acid. Though it can be made in the body, different areas of the body have
different requirements for l-glutamine, and the biggest users are the
rapidly growing and dividing cells of the intestinal lining. Glutagenics
supplies high levels of the amino acid l-glutamine, with one teaspoon
(2.8gm) containing approximately 2000mg (2gm). A powdered form may promote
optimal absorption and assimilation.
Sustamine is a dipeptide that combines l-glutamine and l-alanine. Research
has shown that this combination of l-glutamine and l-alanine has superior
absorption, stability and solubility when compared to l-glutamine alone.
Glutagenics contains zinc which is a crucially important mineral that
is involved in all areas of the body. Adequate zinc is necessary for a
proper functioning immune system. Zinc also plays an active role in cell
division, and is therefore important in wound healing, and also, the replacement
and regeneration of the gut lining as these cells are constantly being
replaced.
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in many fruits and vegetables.
PGlutagenics is supplied in a powdered form for ease of use and flexible
dosing. Tasty orange flavour.
