Glutamic acid is an amino acid used to form proteins. In the body it turns into glutamate. This is a chemical that helps nerve cells in the brain send and receive information from other cells. It may be involved in learning and memory.
Glutamic acid often is used as a food additive and flavor enhancer in the form of its sodium salt, known as monosodium glutamate (MSG).
The relatively high glutamate levels in some traditional diets suggest that it is a safe food additive. However, anecdotal and scientific evidence indicates that high levels of glutamate and MSG consumption cause adverse health effects.
