Glutamine is an important amino acid that fuels your gut lining cells, maintains protective mucus, and supports the gut lining’s repair process. It’s also an essential amino acid for immune function, wound healing, and exercise recovery.
We formulated Dr. Eric Snow Gut Revive specifically to support your gut healing as part of the Gut Reset program. The glutamine is generated naturally from beneficial bacteria fermentation. In contrast, most synthetic glutamine supplements on the market come from wheat or shellfish, so they’re more likely to contain allergens or gut irritants that can set you back in your gut healing journey.
Each capsule of Dr. Eric Snow Gut Revive contains 500 mg of 100% natural glutamine with no harmful additives or fillers. The organic rice protein helps the glutamine disperse in the gut once the capsule breaks open.
Main Ingredients: L-Glutamine 500 mg
Other Ingredients: Plant-Source Capsule (cellulose, water), Organic Rice Protein
Suggested uses:
Take 1 capsule 3 times a day, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Benefits
Support gut barrier, gut health, and digestive function
At Snow Holistic Health, we’ve built a reputation as an integrative health practice that can turn around impossible cases of chronic health problems in our community. We do so by first healing the gut using food and whole-food supplements as medicine.
Studies show that gut health is intimately linked to all areas of health, including:
- Systemic (whole-body) inflammation
- Mental health
- Brain health and cognitive function
- Metabolic health
- Skin health
- And more
A leaky gut barrier can expose food fragments and bacteria toxins to the immune system, causing systemic inflammation. Therefore, to optimize health, it’s critical to heal the leaky gut.
Having helped over 2,000 patients over the years, we created the 30-Day Gut Reset to make it available to people beyond our immediate community.
Gut Revive fermented L-glutamine is a key component of the Gut Reset since it fuels the gut lining cells, helps balance out the inflammatory response, and strengthens the barrier. It helps reseal the gut barrier even after stress or toxic exposure.
Aside from healing the gut, L-glutamine also promotes digestive regularity and relieves digestive discomfort.
Fuels immune cells and supports healthy immune responses
Glutamine is a vital source of fuel for the immune cells, including white blood cells (WBCs), lymphocytes, and some intestinal cells. It not only supports a balanced inflammatory response but also helps the immune cells do their jobs in fighting off germs and healing wounds.
Glutamine supplementation can:
- Provide a building block for glutathione, the most important cellular antioxidant in the plasma and red blood cells
- Support wound and tissue healing
- Support optimal growth and white blood cell function
- Promotes optimal and balanced cytokine production
Supports exercise recovery and reduces exercise fatigue
Glutamine supplementation reduces post-exercise muscle soreness and promotes recovery after intense exercise.
It may also reduce exercise fatigue by reducing the ammonia buildup in the blood.
Intense and long physical exertion can lower immune function. Glutamine supplements can help maintain immune function and support a balanced immune response during and after heavy training.
Supports brain health
Glutamine is important for brain health in many ways, including:
- Providing a key building block for glutamate and GABA in your brain
- Promoting a balanced inflammatory response
- Supporting the gut-brain axis
- Providing a component of glutathione, an important cellular antioxidant
Supports blood sugar control and reduces cravings
L-glutamine can help replenish blood sugar faster than sugar and without triggering insulin responses. Also, immune cells and gut cells prefer glutamine as fuel over glucose, although it’s possible to develop sugar cravings when these cells are hungry. Therefore, many people find glutamine helpful for cravings or eating better for weight loss.
