The metabolism of the skin, especially that of the (intestinal) mucous membranes, is subject to a high rate of cell division. Regeneration and renewal processes in our body are always linked to cell division processes and therefore require regulating micronutrients. The semi-essential amino acid glutamine plays a crucial role, along with micronutrients such as vitamin A, D3, B6 and zinc.
As an amino acid that can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, L-glutamine serves the nerve cells as a substrate for the activating neurotransmitter glutamic acid. With the help of vitamin B6, the relaxing neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is also formed, which has an influence on learning ability and concentration.
L-glutamine is a building block of glutathione, an endogenous protective substance. Vitamins A, D and B6 as well as zinc contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
