Glutamine is the most common non-essential amino acid in the human body
This means that the body can normally produce it itself. The body's own synthesis is highest in the muscles, lungs, fatty tissue and brain. Under certain circumstances, glutamine synthesis may not be sufficient to meet requirements, which is why glutamine is also considered semi-essential. Glutamine (together with the amino acids cysteine and glycine) is a building block for glutathione. Around 500 amino acids occur in nature. Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for protein in the human body; these are known as "basic amino acids". These basic amino acids can be categorised as "essential", "semi-essential" and "non-essential".
Tasks of L-glutamine
L-glutamine is not an essential amino acid, as our body can produce it itself from L-glutamic acid with the help of the enzyme glutamine synthetase. L-glutamic acid is also an amino acid that is closely related to L-glutamine.
Glutamic acid is formed in the brain from a portion of L-glutamine. Glutamic acid can break down ammonia. L-glutamine is also a precursor of glutathione, the most important antioxidant in our body.
If the body is supplied with too few carbohydrates, the liver can form glucose from the amino acids L-glutamine and L-alanine. If there is no more free L-glutamine available, the liver draws on the reserves in the muscles.
