Your intestines play an important role in your immune system. Glutamine provides energy to intestinal and immune cells. It also aids in the proper growth of intestinal cells and helps to maintain the barrier between the intestines and the rest of your body. The most abundant amino acid in the body is L-glutamine. Proteins are constructed from amino acids. When your body digests proteins, amino acids are left behind to do their job. These amino acids do everything from build muscles, cartilage, bones, and skin to repair tissues, oxygenate red blood cells, aid in digestion, and regulate hormones such as insulin.

The percentages of protein made up of L-glutamine in each food are as follows:

4.4 percent for eggs (0.6 g per 100 g of eggs)

4.8 percent beef (1.2 g per 100 g of beef)

8.1 percent for skim milk (0.3 g per 100 g of milk)

9.1 percent tofu (0.6 g per 100 g of tofu)

11.1 percent white rice (0.3 g per 100 g of rice)

16.2 percent corn (0.4 g per 100 g of corn)
