taurine, magnesium, lithium, vitamin C, niacin, b12,
Indirectly, fish oil, b6, quercetin, PKC inhibitors, creatine, theanine, reduction of exposure to excitotoxins ie MSG. Growth factors like BDNF can reduce glutamate excitoxicity.
Basically anything that can reduce neuronal excitability is likely to reduce the potientally neurotoxic effects of glutamate.
Remember that glutamate can be high without neurotoxicity. ITs just when it gets too high.
How do you know if it gets too high?Not exactly sure. One symptom might be light and sound sensitivity.
