RileyG Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 "Glucosamine is a natural seafood extract derived from crab shells" Vegan or not? I'm guessing not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelhobson Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Just picked up a bottle of vegan glucosamine last week at the local health food store, complete with vegan capsules!!!

CollegeB Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Does anyone know if L-Glutamic Acid is the same as L-Glutamine. I would suspect they are different because the name is different, but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kollision Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 They are both amino acids, but are not the same. L Glutamic acid is used for metabolic and energy production, brain function, and immune system. It is converted into L Glutamine in the liver when combined with vitanime B6.

CollegeB Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Would it be better to take L-Glutamine or do you think I am getting the same benefits with L-Glutamic Acid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kollision Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 L Glutamine is what you want. Glutamic Acid turns into Glutamine, so your best bet is to stay with L Glutamine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
