Glutamine&bcaa help to reduce anxiety. is it true?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Glutamine: Glutamine & branched chain Amino Acids have been used in tx of injuries, trauma, burns & wound healing. Also, in athletes for muscle growth in weight lifting, bodybuilding & endurance. No proof for its validity for anxiety.

Not really: I have treated patients, over the past 25 years, with medications which have proven to be safe and effective. If a person has a condition and is suffering, i try and prescribe the most effective and safe treatment for their condition and target symptoms. The treatments as described in the question, have not been proven to be safe or effective. I won't use these treatment when I have better ones.
