What is the intestinal lining?
The intestinal system is made up primarily of the small and
large intestines. These intestines absorb the nutrients which
feed virtually every cell of the body. A properly functioning
intestinal system is vital to overall health and well-being.
The intestinal wall secretes mucus which forms a \"membrane\" or
\"lining\" that coats the surface of the intestinal
tract. When properly functioning, this lining allows the absorption
of nutrients and restricts the absorption of unwanted compounds
and bacteria. The intestinal lining is also essential to proper
digestion, immune function and overall health.
Where does this lining come from?
The body uses the amino acid, L-Glutamine, to create the
intestinal lining. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid
in the human body. When functioning properly, the body converts
L-Glutamine into N-Acetyl Glucosamine, an amino sugar that
is found in all tissues of the body. Much of the intestinal
lining is composed of N-Acetyl Glucosamine, which serves to
hold the cells of the intestinal lining together.
What can we do to achieve optimal intestinal lining health?
Much of the literature today suggests that supplementation
with L-Glutamine and N-Acetyl-Glucosamine may be beneficial
in the maintenance of proper intestinal permeability. It is
suggested that as we age, we need more of these amino compounds
to properly maintain this mucosal lining.
\"A healthy intestinal lining helps determine the overall
health of an individual. A healthy digestive lining plays a
critical role in the absorption of beneficial nutrients and
the blockage of unwanted compounds into the bloodstream.\"
