Re: glycine and bile - glutamine

[Guest guest]

TK--- for those with high amonia levels glutamine can also make them

worse, extreme fatigue in my case - make sure you add one thing at a

time so you know how you respond.

Is there a test to see if liver ammonia levels are high??

I was told that because the glutimine did affect my liver

because my liver hurt the folowing ..

" Combining AKG (alpha-ketoglutarate)

with your regular glutamine would be a way to receive the gut

nourishing benefits of glutamine without the liver stress, as AKG

scavenges ammonia. Typically AKG wil be bound to something - arginine

AKG is very popular, but, as you may know, arginine can re-activate

latent herpes viruses. The other option is glutamine AKG. If your

gut is doing really well, and your

interest in glutamine unrelated to GI health, glutamine AKG alone

would

suffice, but it bypasses the gut so you can combine the two - "

And yes I agree TK , do new supplements one at a time..

I went and put alot of the new aminos I was trying in one

pot as I was so impatient and they are now onto a freind who

is going to try them.. . It is hard to wait ==== unfortunate

but reality..

HI Dean.. I usually do not have alot of insomnia since starting

the supplements like milk thistle, enzymes. some other things. ...

But when my liver is bad,, after crisis's when my liver starts

to hurt .. my sleep is alot more restless. So I guess it is

bad.. and I just need to keep on top of it with my

supplements , etc..

I have added arginine and am doing well with it.. Taking lysine

as well to balance it.. I think ornithine is illegal here in

canada.. will look into it..
