Glutamic Acid Troches
Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid involved in brain function, protein synthesis, and energy production. It functions as an excitatory neurotransmitter, plays a role in muscle metabolism, and is involved in the pathway the body uses to process ammonia.
Potential Benefits:
– May play a role in normal neurotransmitter function
– May support normal protein synthesis
– May play a role in normal energy metabolism
– May play a role in normal ammonia processing
These reflect the documented role of glutamic acid in the nutritional and biochemical literature. They aren't claims that this compounded product diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease or condition, and results vary from person to person and aren't guaranteed.
Product Purchase Includes:

– Have a seizure disorder, given glutamate's role as an excitatory neurotransmitter
– Have a known sensitivity to monosodium glutamate (MSG) or other glutamate-containing compounds
– Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Warnings and Precautions:
Glutamic acid functions as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Patients with a history of seizures or other conditions affecting neurological excitability should discuss this with their provider before starting.
Some individuals experience sensitivity to glutamate-containing compounds, similar to reported MSG sensitivity, which can include headache, flushing, or other symptoms. If you have a known sensitivity, discuss this with your provider.
Tell your provider about every medication, supplement, and health condition you have before starting.
