Hello! Hope you are doing well! MS(L)G, a form of glutamate, is used in Amberen for one specific reason - it is an effective neurotransmitter and it helps “deliver” the rest of the compound. The reason why Amberen scientists chose to use MS(L)G and not glutamate in its pure form is because glutamate is highly bioactive and becomes unstable when mixed with other ingredients. MS(L)G is less acidic than pure glutamate, it is of high pharmaceutical grade, it is more stable than glutamate and it is used in miniscule amounts (40 mg per dose).
Using tiny amounts of this pharmaceutical grade within the context of a clinically tested formulation is very different from the unregulated use of MSG as a flavor enhancer (which requires much larger amounts). Because Amberen uses it in such small amounts, even those allergic to MSG cannot detect it. The miniscule amounts of MS(L)G used in Amberen have never been linked to any side effects. The safety of all ingredients in Amberen is backed by toxicology studies and clinical trials. If you still feel weary about it, please contact the Amberen Customer Service and you can speak with one of the registered nurses. Have a wonderful day!
