Hi lybrate-user,

Glutamine is an important amino acid with many functions in the body.
It is a building block of protein and critical part of the immune system.
What’s more, glutamine has a special role in intestinal health.
Your body naturally produces this amino acid, and it is also found in many foods. Yet, you may be unsure if you need extra glutamine from supplements for optimal health.

Hello, Elsome HT contains hydroquinone, steroid and tretinoin. It is a good cream and helps rejuvnate skin and also reduce pigmentation. Results take 1 to 2 months to show. Since it contains Mometasone which is a steroid make sure you do not continue for long time as can have harmful effects and to stop after two months and shift over to milder creams which are safer. Consult a dermatologist.
