text: From a theoretical perspective, glutamine is a precursor to GABA and does pass the blood-brain barrier, so this is prima facie possible.
text: Glutamine, a precursor of GABA, readily passes through the blood-brain barrier and is, therefore, a better supplement to take if one wants to increase brain levels of GABA, since Glutamine, once it is in the brain, converts into GABA.
text: Glutamine is also a precursor for many other amino acids; an important fuel for the immune system, the brain and gut mucosal cells, and it is at the heart of a mechanism controlling acid:base balance.
text: Glutamine is precursor for proteins, amino sugar, purines and pyrimidines synthesis in different tissues; it is essential for acid-base buffering in kidney, being the most important donor of NH 3 excreted in urine (Busque and Wagner, 2009; Verrey et al., 2009).
