L-Glutamine: Can be a valuable tool in Integrative Oncology in the right context.
L-Glutamine, an amino acid, is one of the most versatile therapeutic agents used in natural, integrative, and even conventional medicine. Its benefits span a wide range of applications, including gastrointestinal (GI) repair, post-surgical recovery, renal support, muscle maintenance, and addressing cachexia. Given its widespread use, it’s essential to evaluate the potential risks associated with its use—particularly in oncology, where its role is more nuanced.
