Physical and Chemical Properties | Glutamine is also known as α-aminopentamide acid and glutamic acid -5-amide. Crystallized from water or dilute ethanol is a completely opaque white orthorhombic needle crystal (L-body). No smell. Slightly sweet. There are L-bodies and DL-bodies, and the natural ones are L-bodies. Relative molecular mass 146.15. The melting point of L-body is 185~186 ℃ (decomposition). The specific rotation is 9.2 (25, water). |

physiological function | glutamine (Glutamine) is the most abundant amino acid in muscle and blood. The human body cannot produce essential amino acids by itself, and can only be ingested through diet, and glutamine is a conditional essential amino acid. This means that a healthy and stress-free body can produce enough glutamine on its own, but when a person is sick or traumatized, the demand for glutamine will exceed the supply, making this amino acid necessary. Although glutamine is widely advertised as helping with weight loss, promoting recovery after exercise and treating intestinal diseases, more research is needed to understand its specific effects in these areas. |
