Just trying to give some reasons why you find it beneficial..like you have good levels of estrogen, progesterone, enough cortisol (high is fine here although I realise too high for too long is no good), and get enough exercise..so it works for you. I know you did'nt need to know it works for you, just thought I'd give some reasons as to why it might work for you and not for others.
Glutamine syntase is an enzyme needed to break down the glutamate..to have enough of it you it looks like (from those studies)you need good levels of cortisol, T3..and you've got enough.
Estrogen, progesterone, I think can alter the pathways.
One word of caution though for anyone considering or even likely to get pregnant..Dr Mercola's article that JLx linked to pointed out glutamine is probably dangerous to the foetus, as is gingko
Best, Jan
