alpha ketoglutaric acid/Leo

[Guest guest]

I found my notes from Dr. Yasko. I had asked if AKG was a form of

glutamate. Her response: " I am not a believer in the use of glutamine

or AKG as it can end up as glutamate in the system. Alpha KG plus

ammonia makes glutamate. Also glutamine can break down into glutamate

plus more ammonia. So with ammonia around I am not crazy about using

either AKG or glutamine. Glutamate and glutamic acid are basically the

same molecule, the only difference is the pH and if it is in the acidic

form or not. " Also, Dr. Houston says NoFenol helps with ammonia

problems.
