L-Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid is defined as a crystalline amino acid that is widely distributed in plant and animal proteins and that acts throughout the central nervous system especially in the form of a salt or ester as a neurotransmitter which excites postsynaptic neurons. An excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter that is an agonist at all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA).

• Helps improve brain function.
• Detoxifies the brain providing mental clarity.
• Aids in metabolism of sugars and fats.
• Converts into glutamine as needed.
• Useful in treatment of children’s behavioral disorders, epilepsy, and muscular dystrophy.

• Overall dullness and depression of normal thought processes.
