Glutamune is presented as an oral L-glutamine powder, packed in easy-to-administer 15g sachets. L-glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid; under certain conditions, it is necessary for patients undergoing intensive physical stress, such as cancer patients. In such highly catabolic patients after a severe illness, L-glutamine supports recovery by restoring the levels of amino acids in muscles, of which it constitutes about 60% of the free amino acid pool. As part of enteral nutrition, L-glutamine supplementation could help reduce muscle wasting, improve the overall nutritional status, and help patients recover from treatment with cancer therapy.
