Among 20 amino acids, glutamine provides the most versatility of amino acid metabolism and immune function and plays a vital role in intestinal health. However, glutamine needs can often be greater than its ability to produce it, therefore adequate intake and supplementation can be of great benefit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEHPlabs’ L-Glutamine is HPLC tested to ensure that it is the highest quality pharmaceutical grade glutamine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eENHANCES IMMUNITY \u0026amp; OPTIMISES INTESTINAL HEALTH\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlutamine is highly utilised by the immune system as glutamine is essential for immune cell proliferation and function \u003ca title=\"Cruzat V, Macedo Rogero M, Noel Keane K, Curi R, Newsholme P.
