ANTIAGING-AMINO-ACID-GLUTAMIC-ACID

WHAT IS: ANTIAGING-AMINO-ACID-GLUTAMIC-ACID

80% OF AMINO ACIDS ARE NON-ESSENTIAL (ne)

BENEFITS FOR ANTIAGING-AMINO-ACID-GLUTAMIC-ACID:
*Important in metabolizing fats and sugars
*Aids in transporting potassium into the spinal fluid and blood brain barrier
*Brain may use as fuel
*Can detoxify ammonia by picking up nitrogen atoms, and in the process creates glutamine
*Ammonia in the brain is detoxified by the converting of glutamic acid to glutamine
*Helps to correct personality disorders
*Beneficial to childhood behavioral disorders
*Used in treatment of epilepsy, retardation, ulcers, MD, hypoglycemic coma
*May help with learning and memory

WHAT IS GLUTAMIC ACID:
It is an excitatory neurotransmitter (transmits nerve impulses) that increases firing of neurons in the central nervous system
A major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and spinal cord
Converts to either gamma-aminobutyric acid or glutamine
Is found in high levels in blood and may infiltrate the brain in minor amounts
Is a component of folate, a B vitamin which participates in the break down of amino acids

FOOD SOURCES ARE:
Fruits, nuts, vegetables

GLUTAMIC ACID: - Is a Non-essential amino acid

TOXICITY:
Avoid if you are allergic to monosodium glutamate (MSG)
