Is L-Glutamine safe to take if I have an intolerance for MSG (monsodium glutamate)?
Glutamine is related to the amino acid glutamic acid (or glutamate, found in most protein foods) and may influence body levels, but typically follows a slightly different route of metabolism. However, people who are sensitive to the excitatory effects of the amino acid glutamic acid (glutamate or msg) may experience excess excitation and react to glutamine, in which case do not take this product.
