    Glutamine and Glutamine acid

    Related to the excitotoxicity theory and excess glutamate (we haven't heard about this in a while, but on health rising there have been a few articles on the role of glutamate for fibromyalgia or ME), I've measured my glutamate in serum and the acid version ist high - 300 (up to 130 norm value)...

    Low glutamine on amino acids test

    Low glutamine in an amino acids test - the notes from my test: What is the answer here, push ATP with supplements, or remove heavy metals? Taking glutamine isn’t the answer since it’s excitatory to me, healing the gut with other nutrients though?

    Low Glutamine on Nutreval but can't tolerate it

    Hi, I have very low glutamine on my Nutreval. But I cannot take it. I get anxious. It's because I have a problem with low Gaba. Much what I can take to increase GABA just doesn't work for me. What can I do to correct this? I am also hetero CBS. I have Sulfur Intolerance. Thanks so much!

    The FDA's loophole to stop you purchasing L-Glutamine and other Supps. Take Action!

By comparison L-Glutamine costs very little. Therefore I would urge anyone in the USA to forward the article to everyone that...

    Glutamine versus Glutamate

    A bit of confusion on this one. I had been ramping up the amount of glutamine from None to 10g/day and had been going fine. I was doing so because glutamine helps against leaky gut; repairs the gut's mucosal lining. I have had bad SIBO symptoms; and although anti-biotics and anti-parasitic...
