I cannot comment on on the L-Glutamic or the L-Alanine. I know both are Amino Proteins. Proteins are extremely necessary for cell-repair and cell-maintennace.

Glatiramer acetate, the active ingredient of COPAXONE®, consists of the acetate salts of synthetic polypeptides, containing four naturally occurring amino acids: L-glutamic acid,L-alanine, L-tyrosine, and L-lysine with an average molar fraction of 0.141, 0.427, 0.095, and 0.338, respectively. The average molecular weight of glatiramer acetate is 5,000-9,000 daltons. Chemically, glatiramer acetate is designated L-glutamic acid polymer with L-alanine, L-lysine and L-tyrosine, acetate(salt). Its structural formula is: (Glu, Ala, Lys, Tyr) x.X CH3COOH (C5H9NO4. C3H7NO2. C6H14N2O2. C9H11NO3) x.x C2H4O2 CAS- 147245-92-9 COPAXONE® Injection is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow, sterile, non-pyrogenic solution for subcutaneous injection. Each 1.0 mL of solution contains 20 mg of glatiramer acetate and 40 mg of mannitol, USP. The pH range of the solution is approximately 5.5 to 7.0. The biological activity of COPAXONE® is determined by its ability to block the induction of EAE in mice.
