Why L-Glutamine is the Wonder Do-All Supplement | Laura London
Hi everyone! Today I want to talk to you about a supplement that I really, really like, and see if it's something that is right for you. I’m talking about L-Glutamine—the wonder, do-all supplement that helps with everything from mental focus and gut health to managing stress and burning fat.
As we age, our human growth hormone naturally decreases. Since L-Glutamine makes up about 60% of our muscle tissue, it is a fantastic tool to help your body recover from workouts, injuries, or surgeries. In this episode, I share why fixing your gut health is always step number one for wellness, how this tasteless powder completely changed my brittle nails, and how it naturally calms your mood to stop cortisol from storing fat.

Introduction to L-Glutamine
SPEAKER_00Hi everyone, I wanted to talk to you today about a supplement that I really, really like, and I want to see if this is a supplement that you think is right for you. So, what am I talking about? I'm talking about L-glutamine. L-glutamine seems to be the wonder do all supplement that helps with everything from mental focus, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues to burning fat and everything in between.
Benefits for Muscles and Recovery
SPEAKER_00L-glut L-glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid that your body produces and is responsible for about 60% of your muscle tissue and helps to increase the production of human growth hormone, HgH. HGH is like the fountain of youth and it decreases as we age. So L-glutamine is great to help for your muscles to recover from working out. It can help your body recover faster from injury, surgery, or an accident.
Gut Health and Immune Benefits
SPEAKER_00Now, L-glutamine is really great for any type of gut issues you might have and just overall gut health. And the number one thing to weight loss is really improving your gut health. Like that's number one, then food, then exercise. So if you have any gut issues like diverticulitis or problems with digestion and constipation, L-glutamine is definitely for you. Because of its wonders, working to create a healthy digestive system, L-glutamine will boost your overall immune system too. And I have to tell you, since I've been taking L-glutamine, I've been hanging it for a while, but one thing I always notice if I stop, uh, my nails. My nails grow like out of control. And I've before L-glutamine, uh, they were frail, they were brittle. I I they just I wish I could show you my nails right now, but it's really great. Okay, so L-glutamine will help to create a healthy pH balance for your body by making sure your cell volume and hydration levels are aided, which also helps with electrolyte production and stabilization in
Fat Burning and Craving Control

L-glutamine has been praised for its ability to reduce, if not cure, I don't want to say cure, I'm gonna say help with anxiety and depression. Uh, L-glutamine improves concentration and helps with stress, which of course will lower anxiety and stress, sends out cortisol, and cortisol is our fat storage hormone. It has the ability to calm moods, improve, improve low mental, I can't talk today, improve low mental and physical energy levels and increase alertness.

Dosage and Final Recommendations
SPEAKER_00appetite cravings. L-glutamine is a well-known skin tightening miracle supplement. Did you hear me, ladies? If you want tighter skin anywhere on your body and your face and your face, L-glutamine is going to be your new BFF. It aids in the building of muscles and the tightening of skin. Bring on the L-glutamine. L-glutamine usually comes in a powdered form and it's completely tasteless and it mixes really easy with water, so you can put it in a shake or juice or just drink it plain in your water. Five grams a day is about all you need, and your body will just you know urinate any excess out, so there's no need to overdo it. I always add it to my smoothie in the morning, and sometimes I'll have a little in the afternoon, so I kind of split it up. They're different brands, so read your labels, make sure you're getting high quality. Um Jarro's, I believe, has a L-glutamine that I like, the uh vitamin shop. So go, you can do your own research on L-glutamine, but I highly suggest it in your weight loss and health toolbox. That's it for today, everyone.
