[Product Description]
Glutamine （abbreviated as Gln or Q） is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code.
Its side chain is an amide formed by replacing the side-chain hydroxyl of glutamic acid with an amine functional group. It can therefore be considered the amide of glutamic acid.
[Application]
Glutamine has  been taken to enhance brain function as it fuels two of the brain's most important neurotransmitters: glutamic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid （GABA）. It also assists in nitrogen transportation and reduces toxic build up of ammonia in the brain （though is contra-indicated for those with Reye's Syndrome）. Hence, it has been used to aid memory, increase IQ in those with mental retardation, and to support people with schizophrenia and senility.

It has also been used in the treatment of ADHD, anxiety and depression.

It has also been used in recovery programs to break sugar craving cycles in alcoholics （although is contra-indicated for those with cirrhosis of the liver or kidney disease） and assist diabetics in the management of sugar cravings.[6

It is also used as an anti-inflammatory in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and preserves Glutathione （important for detoxification and immune support） levels in the liver.

Glutamine is contraindicated for those with Reye's syndrome, cirrhosis of the liver and kidney disease.
