Hi -
I think you want l-glutamine, not glutamate. Glutamine is the amino that makes GABA along with B6, zinc and taurine. However before it makes gaba it is excitory, which is odd. I didn't like it much - it was never very consistent, and I've heard some people go a bit nuts on it if taken too much (but that's what you get generally with messing with individual aminos too much). If you take too much, taurine is a good antidote (IME). If you take too much of individual aminos like these, you may find yourself getting angry and irritable - they are powerful stuff!
Hey, if you get l-theanine, try mixing it with the picamilon (you've probably seen that idea at smile2biz) - it does make it much more potent - like 50mg picamilon 90mg l-theanine. I did this and the effect was very nice, much better than l-theanine on its own which often makes me feel a bit flat.
Good Luck
Loops
