L-Glutamine explained

[NutHouse]

please tell me as much as you know about L-Glutamine
as supplement for baby squirrels and when to use it.

I would like to know this as well. A friend gave me some to help my stunted squirrel. She said a pinch once a week in her formula to help make her grow. But that's all the info I have. Further information would be appreciated if someone has experience with this.

When the body is stressed (such as from injuries, infections, burns,
trauma, or surgical procedures), cortisol is released into the bloodstream. Elevated cortisol
levels can deplete glutamine stores in the body. Since glutamine plays a key
role in the immune system, a deficiency in this nutrient can significantly slow
the healing process. Studies have shown that glutamine supplements support the immune system. Glutamine
supplements may also aid in the recovery of severe burns.




Glutamine helps to protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract known
as the mucosa. Follow the advice of your healthcare provider
when deciding whether to use glutamine for IBD.
