Why L-Glutamine works!

[Wolf-Lover]

Hi All! I am seeing that L-Glut will help with the alcohol cravings. Do you know if it helps with drug addiction, also?

Wolf-Lover,
Haven't been to this particular site for a long time so not sure if you're still around for this answer or not but hopefully it will help others with the same question if we can't help you. Most drugs interfere with the brain's neurotransmitters which is completely different from alcohol, which can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) so I am going to take an educated guess and say no to L glut helping for drug addcition. Depending on what drug however, there may be something else to help with those cravings, for example, methadone which is given to help heroin users.

I was researching this and I came across the following...
Suggested Amino Acid Supplementation by Drug of Abuse or Addiction

Find your drug(s) of abuse on chart then look at the syndromes that are possible for each. Take the suggested Amino Acid by drug of abuse for the syndromes you are experiencing using the provided dosage guidelines.

Alcohol: L-Glutamine for craving and mood/GABA for anxiety/5-HTP or L-Tryptophan for sleep and depression.

Marijuana: L-Glutamine for craving and mood/DL-Phenytaianine or L-Tyrosine for A-motivation syndrome/GABA for anxiety/5-HTP or L-Tryptophan for sleep and depression.

Cocaine or Amphetamine: L-Glutamine for craving and mood/L-Tyrosine for alertness and mood/5-HTP or L-Tryptophan for sleep and depression.

Opiates: D-Phenylalanine or DL-Phenylatanine for craving and pain/L-Glutamine for craving/GABA for anxiety/5-HTP or L-Tryptophan for sleep and depression.

Benzodiazepines:GABA for anxiety, cravings and mood/5-HTP or L-tryptophan for sleep and depression.

Hallucinogens/Ecstasy: L-Tyrosine for cravings, mental clarity and focus/GABA for anxiety/5-HTP for sleep and depression.

I have personally used a product call AminoKit Recovery Form and it works but is expensive so I did not stay on. It has the amino's you mentioned before. You can buy separately but this product is a blend and not sure of dosages of each required. you also must buy high quality nutricuetical grade amino's.

Hope this helps. Anyone know about Sobrexa please

Kudzu for addiction`

I need for information on the Kudzu in Sobrexa program. $900 is ridiculous amount to pay for this product. Please advise on dosage and quality.

I have to say - when I was absolutely religious about my L-Glut I stayed in track. When I quit carrying around the GNC 2500 MG Power Chews in the handbag for sudden cravings - I crashed and burned.

Those little squares are portable, can be chewed anywhere, work really fast as the L-Glut is already micronized, and you don't need a beverage to wash them down with. Totally wipes out the hypoglycemia.

I was getting best results dealing with the witching hour and the beast with 3 chewies about 45 minutes before the witching hour, sometimes with Kudzu. This time around I may just do a standard of L-Glut, Amino's, GABA, and Kudzu before the witching hour. I have to make this stick.

Hey all ... new to the site, but not to my addiction ... almost 20 years now.
After dutiful research - and more setbacks than I can count - I decided to try Glutamine ... I have to be honest ... it's becoming a life saver. I never thought I'd say this, but I find myself not even thinking about drinking even after several days and during the toughest hours (4-6, right before dinner) ... I take 2,000 mg in the morning and 2,000 in the afternoon. I highly recommend it. It might be my last, best hope.
Good luck, everyone!
