foods high in glutamine

Top 10 foods high in glutamine

23 Nov 2022 • 4 min read

You’ve probably never seen the words ‘high in glutamine’ on food packaging.

However, glutamine is an important amino acid which has a hand in everything from your immunity to how your body recovers after injury – so you need to know where it can be found.

In this article we will cover what glutamine is and what its main functions are.

We’ll also look at the amount of glutamine that you need in a day, where it can be found, as well as information about glutamine supplements and whether you might need them.

What is glutamine?

Glutamine (also known as l-glutamine) is an amino acid. It’s the most abundant amino acid in the human body and is made in the muscles and transported around the body by the blood.1

Glutamine is one of a group of 20 amino acids which make up protein. 12 of these amino acids are what’s called non-essential amino acids – meaning they can be made by the body – whilst the other 8 are known as essential amino acids as they must be supplied in the diet.2

Together, these 20 amino acids help build and maintain your muscles, skin, organs and all other bodily tissues.

Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning the body produces some glutamine on its own. We can also get glutamine from various foods, and in some cases, a glutamine supplement can be used to help top up levels.  

Glutamine also helps make other amino acids, such as nitrogen, as well as helping the body to make glucose.3,4

Here are some of glutamine’s key functions:

  1. It helps wounds heal 

Glutamine has a role in repairing damaged tissues, stimulating collagen production (5) and fuelling new cell growth. In fact, rapidly multiplying healthy cells use glutamine as their preferred fuel source.6

It’s been suggested that taking extra glutamine helps wounds heal faster, and can lower the risk of wound infection.7 One study found that glutamine supplements accelerated the wound healing process in burns patients.8

  1. It shortens muscle recovery time 

Glutamine has a glowing reputation among fitness enthusiasts who use it to help speed up muscle repair, muscle growth and muscle recovery following exercise.

This is backed by science, too.

One study looked at the effects that glutamine supplementation has on muscle strength and soreness following exercise. Those who took glutamine experienced faster recovery of their previous muscle force and experienced less muscle soreness following exercise.9

Be aware – glutamine doesn’t directly help build muscle mass, unlike protein or creatine supplementation.

What glutamine offers is potentially less downtime between workouts recovering from sore muscles and fatigue, and more time spent in the gym.

  1. It promotes good gut health

Glutamine is important for the health of your gut.

Glutamine is the main nutrient and energy source for the cells that line the intestinal tract, so adequate glutamine is needed to keep digestion working at its best.10

People who experience inflammatory conditions of the gut such as gastritis and coeliac disease may benefit from glutamine supplementation.11

Further, having enough glutamine in your body promotes good ‘mucosal integrity’ of the gut – which means it has a strong defence against irritants, such as from alcohol or drugs such as aspirin.12

  1. It’s needed for a healthy immune system

Glutamine plays a vital role in proper immune system function.

Glutamine is the main source of energy for immune cells and is required in adequate amounts in the body for immune cells (most of which re found in the gastrointestinal tract) to work properly.

In fact, glutamine is known as ‘fuel for the immune system’.13

Supplementing with glutamine is thought to help prevent exercise-induced immune impairment, as well as protect against susceptibility to infection in athletes.14

Summary 

  • Glutamine is an amino acid that the body can make on its own – but sometimes we need a little extra
  • Glutamine has a hand in various key bodily functions
  • Glutamine helps wounds heal, helps reduce muscle soreness after exercise and is required for a healthy immune system and gut

How much glutamine do we need a day? 

During the daily functioning of your body, glutamine becomes depleted and must be replaced in the food you eat.

We all need it, but people who do strenuous exercise or are recovering from injury surgery would need more glutamine in their diet.

Generally, an average diet contains 5 to 10 grams of glutamine per day. In healthy people, this is enough to meet the needs of our bodies.15

One study found that the average glutamine intake was 6.84g per day.16

However, if there’s significant stress placed on the body, our metabolic demand for glutamine can be higher than our muscles can produce.

In extreme cases, muscle wasting can occur as a result of this stress. 

For example, if someone has a serious health condition such as sepsis, cirrhosis, hepatitis B, cancer, or is recovering from surgery, their need for glutamine will be higher.17

Another time that glutamine is required in higher amounts is following high intensity physical exercise.

This counts as a temporarily increased metabolic need, and if the activity has been exhausting enough (for example a marathon or endurance event training), glutamine stores may become depleted.18

Foods high in glutamine

These glutamine-rich foods will help you get your daily serving of this important amino acid.

  1. Fish and seafood 

Fish and crustaceans are some of the best sources of glutamine around.

Wild fish naturally contain a high level of glutamine in their bodies, and farmed fish are sometimes given glutamine in their feed to increase their levels.19

Saltwater fish have more glutamine than freshwater fish. Sardines, mackerel, crab, lobster, shrimps and prawns are all good sources.

50g of mackerel contains just under 2000mg of glutamine, that’s around 1.9g.20

  1. Red cabbage 

One of the healthiest foods out there, red cabbage contains vitamin C, potassium, folic acid and vitamin B6.21

It also boasts the highest levels of glutamine out of any vegetable.22 This is why red cabbage is used traditionally an anti-inflammatory gut-healing remedy.23

Finely shred red cabbage into salads and into slaws, as the benefits are greater if it’s eaten raw. You can try adding it to smoothies, too, and it’s surprisingly hard to detect any cabbage flavour when paired with orange juice, ginger and a little honey.

100g red cabbage contains around 300mg, or 0.3g of glutamine.24

  1. Dairy such as milk, cheese and yoghurt 

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in milk protein, so eating dairy products made from milk will help to ensure you never run short of this amino acid.25

Casein and whey, both milk proteins found in cow’s milk, were found to have the highest levels of glutamic acid of all animal milk.26

If you don’t like dairy, you could try a protein supplement which is made from casein or whey as these will be naturally high in glutamine.

  1. Eggs

An ideal food for exercise or injury recovery, eggs provide a good dose of glutamine as well as protein, selenium, vitamin K, vitamin D and B vitamins.

1 large egg contains 0.8g of glutamine so just 2 eggs each day will provide you with around a quarter of your daily glutamine needs.27

  1. Nuts and seeds 

Nuts and seeds are another key food for exercise or recovery as they offer energy and protein as well as glutamine for tissue repair and recovery.

A handful of almonds, cashews, walnuts or pistachios along with a piece of fruit are perfect fuel before exercise.

Stock up on bags of pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and linseeds which are ideal for adding to smoothies and sprinkling over oats.

A large 50g handful of cashew nuts contains around 2.2g glutamine, (28) so eating nuts every day will boost your levels whilst offering vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.

Just don’t eat too many – as well as being nutrient dense, nuts are calorie-dense too.

  1. Soya 

The glutamine in soybean meal is almost 19% (29), so you should add this legume – which is available in dried form in some supermarkets and all health food shops –  to your diet if you’re looking to get more glutamine.

If you aren’t sure what to do with soya – don’t worry!

Many vegetarian and vegan products are made from soya beans, including tofu, tempeh and soya milk. Soya beans are also available in roasted form, ideal for snacking.

  1. Dark leafy greens 

Dark, leafy green vegetables including spinach, kale and parsley pack in a surprisingly high amount of glutamine.

Parsley contains 1.8g glutamine per 50g.30

You might think it’d be difficult to get a good amount of glutamine from parsley as you only use a sprig or two at a time.

In that case, try the Middle Eastern salad tabbouleh, which contains around 100g parsley and along with its other star ingredient – bulghur wheat – makes it a great healthy choice to boost glutamine levels.

Try including a spinach, and kale to a side salad with dinner – or you could add them together in a smoothie with your favourite fruit to balance out the bitter taste.

  1. Red kidney beans 

Great as a source of (incomplete) protein, fibre and iron, red kidney beans also contain around 0.6g glutamine per 100g.31

In fact, most pulses contain glutamine, including chickpeas, lentils, butter beans, pinto beans and many more.

These are good choices for vegetarians and vegans who can’t get glutamine from the more rich animal sources.

  1. Seaweed 

Seaweeds and algae proteins are good sources of amino acids, with glutamine no exception.

50g dried spirulina contains around 4000mg of glutamine – or 4g.32

Try adding spirulina to a smoothie along with your favourite fruit. The smoothie will turn a vivid green, and the fruit will mask the slightly earthy flavour of the spirulina.

  1. Meat 

Meat is one of the most rich in glutamine foods.

Roast chicken, for instance, contains around 5.5g of glutamine per 128g portion.33

Who might need glutamine supplements? 

If you experience digestive health issues, you might consider a glutamine supplement to help protect the integrity of the intestinal wall.  

Older adults may choose to supplement with glutamine to protect the muscles and gut, as the body’s natural production of this amino acid gradually reduces over the years.34

Also – if you’re exercising strenuously at the gym, you might be considering adding a glutamine supplement to your diet to aid with muscle recovery and help prevent muscle soreness.

Bear in mind that if you’re eating a high-energy, high-protein diet, you’re likely to consuming a higher than average level of glutamine due to the abundance of foods which contain glutamine (see above).35

How much glutamine can I take a day? 

In adults, taking around 30g glutamine per day has shown to be well tolerated and doesn’t cause any ill effects.36

Children can typically take up to 15 or 20 grams, but consult your child’s GP before giving them glutamine supplementation as it may not be necessary.37

When to take glutamine supplements

Glutamine supplements are available as capsules, as well as loose powder to scoop into post- workout shakes.

Glutamine tablets usually contain around 500mg of glutamine each. One tablet per day is recommended, and we recommend taking glutamine tablets on an empty stomach, either an hour before eating or two hours after.38

With glutamine powder, stir a heaped teaspoon (4.5g) into a cup of water or your favourite drink once or twice daily. We recommend you take one dose an hour before working out.

Glutamine powder has a neutral taste but can have a bitter or salty edge, so we recommend mixing it into a smoothie or flavoured protein shake.

It is important that you do not exceed the recommended amount and that you also get enough water during the day – at least six glasses.

Summary 

  • We need around 5 – 10g glutamine each day, but sometimes we need more 
  • Glutamine can help with recovery from injury, surgery or strenuous exercise 
  • There are plenty of food sources of glutamine, including meat, dairy, beans, nuts and soya 
  • You can supplement with up to 30g glutamine daily using supplements like capsules or powder
