An alpha-amino acid that is found naturally in human muscles is known as glutamine. It is the main constituent of the skull. About 61% of the skeletal muscle is glutamine. As glutamine consists of 19% of nitrogen, it acts as a nitrogen carrier in the muscle cells.

Glutamine is of two types that is L-glutamine and D-glutamine. The D-glutamine is the D enantiomer of glutamine that is abundantly present in the human body and is involved in metabolic activities. It transports nitrogen in the body, and acts as an energy source to a few cells. On the other hand, L-glutamine improves immunity, supports intestinal health, improves the symptoms of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and boosts the immune cell activity in the gut, averting inflammation & infection, and soothing intestinal tissues.
