Is glutamine in free-form neurotoxic in the same way MSG is?!
Question:
Is glutamine in free-form neurotoxic in the same way MSG is?
Answers:
Glutamine supplements are very safe. Glutamine is the primary nutrient of the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract (mucosal epithelial cells).
In the brain, the cells rapidly convert glutamate (which can be toxic) to glutamine (which is non-toxic).
Best wishes.
