How it works

Sickle cells can uptake this free glutamine and use it to produce antioxidant substances. These antioxidants can help neutralize the oxidative stress in sickle cells. It also helps maintain the barrier between the intestines and the rest of your body and aids with the proper growth of intestinal cells.
