Glutamine/Mannatech

March 1, 2006

I gave my dauther 1 capsule of Ambrotose AO (Glyco-Antioxidant cell

protection formula with immune support)and 1/4 teaspoon of Ambrotose

complex powder (glyconutritional dietary supplement/immune support

formula)and 1/2 teaspoon of phyt aloe (dried fruits and vegetables)

with her dinner last night.

In 1996, researchers at Mannatech filed a U.S. Patent on Ambrotose

Complex which harnesses the glyconutrients in plants. Glyconutrients

help maintain your body's immune system, allowing your cells to send

and translate messages to each other and enabling them to communicate

clearly and operate efficiently. Ambrotose complex also raises the

levels o glutathione, your body's most important antioxidant.

For dinner I give all three houston's and other supplements as usual.

We always try to put our kids to bed at 8:00. She was up to 11:00.

I have started researching glutathione and read the following:

1. Glutamine can cause a buzz like excess caffeine - the kid will be

hyper, in that case reduce the amount until this disappears. Amounts

recommended is not likely to do this.

2. High glutatine readings are seen in subclinical ammonia toxicity.

This could be due to a weak detoxification, or to excess protein

intake. In the latter case other amino acids will be high.

3. Glutamine and arginine are the precursors that, with the help of

B6 produces the amino acid GABA. GABA is an inhibitory transmitter

that exerts a calming action.

My daughter has made amazing progess with enzymes, scdiet, anti-

yeast, anti-virals, probiotics, a multi-vitamin and mineral

supplement with additional zinc and mag. She is also on CLO and

homeopathic constipation drops.

I am wondering what this may mean about my daugthers glutamine levels?

Before adding in GSE her ph was testing alkaline about 7.5. A urine

reading of 7.5 or above, while uncommon, indicates a body that is to

alkaline, or may idicate that the kidneys are producing amonia to

buffer acids due to mineral deficiency.

Does anybody have any information that might help me understand this?

Thanks, Melinda
