Glutamine - is the most abundant amino acid in our bodies and is the building block for protein. It is useful for balancing blood sugar and removing that craving that so many people have for sweets.

Several types of important immune cells rely on glutamine for energy. Without glutamine, the immune system would not function appropriately. Glutamine also appears to be necessary for normal brain function and digestion.
