Description

4Life NanoFactor Glutamine Prime

4Life^® NanoFactor^® Glutamine Prime™ supplies an added source of support for healthy immune cell function, especially during times of increased stress. Glutamine is an amino acid that serves as a major source of fuel for immune cells. Glutamine is continually needed and used by the immune system but reserves can become depleted by additional everyday stress, such as exercising and training for athletic events, keeping up with busy day-today life, or struggling with various health problems. Glutamine Prime is formulated with the rich energy source of glutamine to help optimize immune cell function.

4life NanoFactor GlutaminePrime benefits

* Increases immune cell energy
* Modulates immune cell response
* Supplies the building blocks of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant

Glutamine Metabolism: Nutritional and Clinical Significance

“It is now clear that glutamine is utilized at high rates by isolated cells of the immune system such as lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. Glutamine supplementation of diet or parenteral nutrition has resulted in benefitial clinical outcomes.”

Glutamine, as a Precursor of Glutathione, and Oxidative Stress

“The amino acid glutamine is usually described as a nonessential nutrient. However, the capacity to synthesize glutamine can be insufficient in some situations. In the last few years, interest in the possible benefits of glutamine supplementation in clinical nutrition is again increasing, mostly due to its currently recognized role in the prevention of oxidative stress.

Both quantitatively and qualitatively, glutathione is one of the most important antioxidant small molecules in the human being, and it is essential for normal cell functioning and replication. Glutamine, with alanine, is the most abundant amino acid in the blood of mammals and it has been described as the main nitrogen vehicle among the tissues of the organism. Glutamine can be administered as an efficient precursor of glutathione.”
