Glutamine Powder 20g Sachets Kabi

Glutamine Powder from Fresenius Kabi is a medical-grade amino acid supplement in 20g sachets. It is used in clinical nutrition for patients recovering from major surgery, burns or trauma, during chemotherapy and radiotherapy to protect the lining of the mouth and gut, and in conditions where the intestinal lining is damaged. It mixes into water or soft food. L-glutamine is the main fuel of the cells lining the intestine and of immune cells, and the body's demand for it rises sharply during illness, injury, surgery and intense training.

During serious illness the body's demand for glutamine outstrips its ability to make it. After surgery, during chemotherapy or radiation, or with gut damage, the body often cannot make enough glutamine to keep the intestinal lining and immune system supplied.
