L-Alanyl-L-glutamine —–The most abundant amino acid in muscle and plasma.


L-Alanyl-L-glutamine, also known as alanyl glutamine, is a dipeptide molecule composed of two amino acids, L-glutamine and L-alanine. L-alanyl-L-glutamine is sometimes supplemented for long-term physical exercise because it can enhance the absorption of electrolytes and improve endurance and performance. Tests on rodents have shown that L-alanyl-L-glutamine is more successful in increasing muscle glutamine levels after glutamine supplementation. This is because glutamine is better absorbed through the liver and intestines after supplementation. Since L-alanyl-L-glutamine is a dipeptide molecule, it means that it contains more than one amino acid for intestinal absorption, so that glutamine can achieve muscle gain.

 

It was once considered a non-essential amino acid because the human body can use amino acids such as glutamic acid, isoleucine and valine to make its own amino acids. However, it has recently been called a conditional essential amino acid because under physical stress, such as strenuous exercise and surgery, the body needs more amino acids to maintain its glutamine storage in the blood and muscles. When glutamine is insufficiently stored, strength, endurance and recovery ability may decrease.

 

L-Alanyl-L-glutamine is a chemically synthesized dipeptide, which can be degraded into L-glutamine and L-alanine in the body for substance synthesis or energy consumption. The drug is effective for severe metabolic and metabolic diseases such as severe burns, acute and chronic infections, bone marrow transplantation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, intestinal dysfunction (such as enteritis short bowel syndrome and mucosal damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, immunodeficiency syndrome) Excellent therapeutic effect. For example, AIDS, severe disease or immune dysfunction after bone marrow transplantation has relatively wide clinical applications.

 

L-alanyl-L-glutamine is stable, highly soluble, and has heat resistance and bactericidal properties. After entering the human body, it can be quickly digested into L-glutamine and exert its effects. It has high bioavailability and a wide range of applications, so it makes up for the lack of L-glutamine, which is especially important for patients who are suddenly injured. In harsh moments, L-alanyl-L-glutamine plays an important role in enhancing soldiers’ combat capabilities. In addition, its application in parenteral nutrition has also attracted more and more attention.

 

At present, the vast majority of domestic L-alanyl-L-glutamic acid relies on imports. Therefore, its market prospects are unlimited.
