Top 14 Sources of Glutamine in Foods

Did you know that serious exercise, along with wounds and bouts of illness can cause those healthy levels of glutamine to drop?

If you’re shrugging your shoulders (especially whilst holding weights) then you should know that glutamine helps to boost your body’s immune system, along with speeding up your body’s ability to recover from injuries. This includes muscle recovery after a hard workout, with glutamine also helping to prevent muscle loss.

So if you have been ill, injured or are routinely engaging in strenuous exercise, it is high time you take a look at how you are replenishing those important glutamine levels. The first place you should be looking is in your primary dietary sources.

1. Eggs

Perfect for breakfast and boiled for a midday snack, eggs are good for just about everything. If you’re looking for a solid source of glutamine to start your day, get your egg whites – preferably free range and organic so they’re not full of unnatural, unnecessary hormones.
