glutamate glutamine MSG

Bonnie,

 

Your question from this thread is a good one. Seemed like it needed a thread of it's own

are they saying that you need glutamine or that you have too much glutamine?

As described above, glutamine and glutamate are transformed back and forth during normal body metabolism. In the blood, glutamate is present at a level about 25% that of glutamine.

 

See what you can make of the above article. The glutamine/glutamate/MSG and how the conversion is made to GABA is a huge topic in itself.

 

The link that I posted is just ONE resource.

 

A search of the forum will probably pull up some good info too. I've struggled with this whole thing myself in the past.
