Natural Sources of Glutamate

Natural Sources of Glutamate


Glutamate is an amino acid and is almost in everything we eat. It is naturally found in protein-rich foods like meat, fish, dairy products, soy sauce, ripe tomatoes, walnuts, dried mushrooms and seaweeds. It is naturally present in our bodies, too. Our brain contains fairly high amount of this amino acid than any of the other amino acids.


Another natural rich source is mother’s milk. It is said that it is the one responsible in stimulating the undeveloped taste buds of babies to drink milk often. It also contains more glutamate compared with cow’s milk.

This neurotransmitter is related to CysNAC, EndoPlus, EndoTrex, Nuvoxil, and TheaNAQ.


Glutamate is responsible for brain and body metabolism. It is one of the 20 amino acids that serve as building blocks of protein. It has a significant role in many brain functions like learning, memory, motor coordination and others. It is involved in many metabolic processes than any other amino acids.


Foods that have the highest content are grains like wheat, barley and oats. Dairy products like all kinds of cheese have high content too. Also, peanuts like cashew, pistachios, and almonds. Meats are also naturally rich with lamb meat having the lowest content while turkey and rabbit meats have the highest content. Soybeans and seeds like sunflower and pumpkin are natural rich source as well.


Foods that have low content are fruits, vegetables, potatoes, eggs and tree nuts like pecans, walnuts, and macadamias.


It is said that too much intake of glutamate have toxic effects on the body because the body produces this naturally, about 40 grams every day. On the other hand, inadequate supply of this amino acid in our body also has harmful effects. This makes it both toxic and essential if taken excessively and inadequately. Hence, it is very important that proper amounts be taken to prevent protein degradation that is responsible for brain and body metabolism.
