> Hi Mopar: Do you mind posting the quote or url? There are many varied opinions about glutamine, some people take multiple grams a day with no apparent ill effect,(many report numerous benefits) other reports say to completely stay away from it. In terms of what helps with depression, I suspect it depends on the person and whether or not you have a deficency.

"Aspartate, glutamate, and glutamine, among other amino acids, are excitatory. They are antagonistic to the functions of taurine, alanine, GABA and glycine according to a contemporary review of taurine by Richard Smayda, D.O.. Consequently, Carol is correct, taurine does detoxify glutamates. Dr. Smayda's review is of considerable importance to all of us interested in magnesium and depression. Dr. Smayda points out that major depression is marked by alterations in serum levels of the excitatory amino acids glutamate and aspartate, accompanied by deviations in levels of taurine, serine, and glycine as well. In patients who did not respond to treatment with classical SSRI antidepressants (treatment-resistant depression - like what we are discussing in this page), characteristically lower serum levels of taurine, aspartate, asparagine, serine and threonine, with a steep increase in glutamine, were noted. Consequently, magnesium taurate is the preferred forms of magnesium for treating benefiting "structure or function" of the body or the "well-being" depression."
