Glutamate: Natural Stimulant And Brain Detoxifier

Several foods contain glutamate, which enhances their flavour. It is also frequently employed as a flavour enhancer in commercially prepared meals and spices, where it is utilised in dosages that are several times higher than in naturally occurring foods. The glutamate absorbed with food does not, however, make it to the brain.

The messenger substance in the brain made of glucose and glutamic acid is what we are discussing below rather than glutamate found in food. In the brain, glutamate serves a variety of critical roles. It is crucial for the brain's demanding functions, such learning and memory, for intentional, controlled motions, as well as for the brain's capacity to sense the environment and adapt to it. Furthermore, glutamate takes part in metabolic processes that rid the brain of potentially harmful ammonia.
