Here is a link to tell you what L-Glutamine is.

Before you start to take it, you should have your Amino Acids checked. It's a simple blood test but will tell you if your low in any of them or not.

Hi Joanne-
Glutamine has saved me in the past!!! I was having HORRIBLE problems with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). I was not digesting my food, and having terrible diarrhea for a long time. Nothing helped. I went to my health food store, and the lady there told me to take glutamine every day. Supposedly it builds up the lining of your stomach and prevents and/or fixes "Leaky Gut Syndrome". Lo and Behold, my stomach went completely back to normal! It was incredible and a direct reaction to the Glutamine (because I wasn't doing anything else at the time). My Brother-in-Law is an Internal Medicine doctor and uses alternative medicine as well (He and my sis own a wellness clinic in Wisconsin). When he first started using alternative medicine, I told him how well this worked. He started suggesting it to his patients and told me that every he was having fantastic results! I know there are other uses for it, but this one really worked for me. I did this before I ever had BC.

And it has NO antioxidative effects during chemo. It is not an antioxidant, it is an amino acid.
