Did you know that glutamine is the preferred fuel for your cells of the small intestine. The cells in the small intestinal lining would prefer glutamine for energy than any other fuel source, even more than glucose. Did you also know that glutamine is being added to tube-fed or intravenous formula because of its amazing benefits to the intestinal lining. As we age we don’t make as much Glutamine.
We’re can we find the best source of Glutamine ?
Raw cabbage juice is a great source of glutamine and it is often recommended as a way of supporting the digestive tract linings . And of course if your not a fan of raw cabbage juice you can always use a supplementation. When choosing a supplement I always suggest a professional brand such as Cyto Matrix, Thorn and Metagenics these brands are cleaner than other brands.
