Glutamine & Antiseizure Medication Dangers

Glutamine or L-glutamine, an amino acid dervived from glutamic acid, is used as a treatment for allergies, digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome and for treating various symptoms experienced by athletes who train too vigorously. It is thought to be a safe supplement when taken at recommended divided dosages generally in the 1.5 to 6 grams daily range. If, however, you are taking an antiseizure medication, DO NOT take glutamine supplements without your doctor´s approval. High dosages of glutamine may overwhelm these drugs and pose a risk prone to seizures.
