Egg: Glutamine
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid and can be found in poultry in particular. Glutamine offers various health benefits, especially with regard to intestinal health. If there is a glutamine deficiency, the amount of intes- tinal mucosa may be reduced. This in- creases the intestinal permeability for unwanted substances (“leaky gut”) and leads to inflammatory reactions. Glutamine intake strengthens the intestinal barrier.
