Glutamine

/ˈɡluːtəmiːn/ noun

Definition

An amino acid abundant in muscles and blood that helps with immune function and intestinal health.

Etymology

From glutamic acid + -amine, indicating it's an amide derivative of glutamic acid. The name traces through gluten back to Latin gluten (glue).

Kelly Says

Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids in your body, crucial for athletes and immune function, yet it's named after the glue in wheat—showing how proteins are interconnected and why breaking down 'bread' in your body is such a complex operation!
