Glutamine participates in the maintenance of a positive nitrogen balance, ideal for those concerned with increasing muscle mass. More specifically, glutamine helps transport nitrogen to muscle cells, which equates to anabolic muscle growth. 

Glutamine also strengthens the rapidly growing cells or so-called lymphocytes of the immune system, which help the body to defend itself against what it recognizes as foreign invaders such as microbes.

In addition, glutamine maintains the body's acid-base balance, ie maintaining a stable internal environment in a body in terms of pH, in cases of disturbance by external factors. 

In the brain, glutamine is converted to glutamic acid which is essential for brain function. In addition, it increases the amount of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is necessary to maintain normal brain function and mental activity.

Glutamine is also known for its ability to maintain a healthy digestive system. Glutamine supplementation is associated with the proper functioning and maintenance of intestinal absorptive cells (enterocytes), maintaining the structural integrity of the epithelial structures of the intestinal mucosa as well as cell differentiation.
