Amino acid L-Glutamic acid
Introduction
L-glutamic acid, also known as glutamic acid, is one of the many components of proteins. Like its fellow amino acid glutamate, it is produced naturally by the body; however, it is a different type of amino acid. While many people take glutamine supplements, L-glutamic acid is produced naturally by the body in amounts adequate for most people. It also has some surprising effects on both the brain and the environment.

Environmental Uses:
You wouldn't think that a dietary supplement could be used as a pesticide, but this is exactly the case with L-glutamic acid. In fact, it has been on the market as a natural pesticide since early 1998, per the United States Department of Environmental Protection. It can be used on ornamental plants as well as those used for foods, such as fruit trees and other crops. Because it is a natural part of most people's bodies, it is considered safe for mammals and has little impact on the environment. It is generally designed for commercial use.
Safety:
The reagents used in the determination of L-glutamic acid are not hazardous materials in the sense of the Hazardous Substances Regulations. However, the buffer concentrate contains sodium azide (0.02 % w/v) as a preservative. The general safety measures that apply to all chemical substances should be adhered to.
