amino acids/glutamine

[Guest guest]

I notice that L-glutamine is recommended as one of the amino acids for

rebalancing brain chemistry, and I know it's also sometimes used for healing the

gut lining. What I'm not clear on is the difference between L-glutamine and free

glutamic acid which is an excitotoxin, neurotoxin. I had seen an article online

by Russel Blaylock, MD (in addition to having read his book on excitotoxins),

which seemed to say that L-glutamine in supplement form was also in the category

of excitotoxin. I can try to dig that article up, but I thought maybe someone

could clarify.

Thanks,
