There are those who chain the series of abs without ever seeing their abdominal belt melt … and those who have heard of L-glutamine as an unexpected slimming ally.

-
She reduces intestinal inflammationresponsible for swelling of the lower abdomen.
-
She promotes better absorption of nutrientstherefore a more fluid and less irritating digestion.

It is not enough to swallow a capsule to hope to melt. For L-glutamine to reveal its aesthetic potential, it is still necessary take it properly. Here is what specialists recommend:
-

-

Recommended form : pure powder (without added additives or sugars) to dilute in a large glass of water
