A member asked:
Could a person with bipolar disorder experience excitoxicity from l-glutamine supplementation due to reduced astrocyte protective function? medical literature states l-glutamine supplementation cannot cause excitoxicity but i'm concerned i'm at risk?

There is no reason for you or anyone else to take l-glutamine supplement. Given your diagnosis, you should not be taking any medication, including over the counter, herbals and supplements without consulting your doctor, Wish you good health!
