4680 patients were studied , and researchers found a consistent relationship between glutamic acid intake and blood pressure.
Glutamic is one of the most abundant amino acids in the human diet. Patients ranged from 40-59 years of age, and blood pressure was measured 8 times over 4 visits. Amino acids were measured and glutamic acid showed the strongest relationship to lower blood pressure. This nutrient may counteract oxidative affects from free radicals or enhance kidney function.
