About L GLUTAMINE

L GLUTAMINE belongs to the class of 'nutraceutical products', primarily used to treat glutamine deficiency. Glutamine deficiency is a condition caused by low levels of glutamine. Glutamine is an amino acid that helps maintain various physiological functions of the body. Symptoms of glutamine deficiency include increased susceptibility to infections, bowel changes, diarrhoea, ulcers, and weight loss.

L GLUTAMINE contains L- Glutamine or Levo-Glutamine, an amino acid. It helps improve the immune system, maintains healthy gut functioning, improves muscle mass and exercise performance. It is also useful in balancing various physiological functions during times of stress.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, L GLUTAMINE may have common side effects like stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist for a longer time, please seek medical advice.
