A member asked:

Are there any natural supplements that effect the glutamate receptor in a positive way?

Dr. Felix Brizuela answered

Specializes in Neurology

Magnesium: I would say, that magnesium have the potential forhaving a positive effect on the glutamate receptors. I say this, because magnesium for the most part, inhibits excitation which would salvage these receptors.
