Contraindication/Caution:Â Â
Pre-existing medical conditions: Caution is advised in pre-existing medical conditions like renal impairment or certain neurological disorders before taking the combination of l-glutamic acid and vitamin B complex. Â
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Pregnant women should seek medical advice before initiating supplementation with this combination.Â
Pregnancy warnings:    Â
Pregnancy category: N/AÂ
Lactation: Excreted into human milk is unknownÂ
Pregnancy Categories:        Â
Category A: Studies that were well-controlled and met expectations revealed no risk to the fetus in either the first or second trimester.Â
Category B: There were a lack of studies on pregnant women and no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal experiments.  Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.   Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.  Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.   Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category Â
Pharmacology: l-glutamic acid is an amino acid that serves as a neurotransmitter and plays various roles in various metabolic pathways.Â
The vitamin B complex is crucial for energy production, nervous system function, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters.Â
Pharmacodynamics:Â Â
Together, l-glutamic acid and vitamin B complex contribute synergistically to cellular metabolism, supporting the central nervous system and promoting overall physiological well-being. Their combined pharmacological effects encompass neurotransmission facilitation, energy metabolism enhancement, and active participation in biochemical reactions vital for cellular function.Â
Pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
l-glutamic acid is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, while vitamin B is absorbed through various mechanisms in the small intestine.Â
DistributionÂ
Once absorbed, l-glutamic acid and vitamin B are distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream, reaching target tissues.Â
MetabolismÂ
l-glutamic acid undergoes metabolism in various tissues participating in neurotransmitter synthesis. vitamin B undergoes metabolic transformations, contributing to energy production and various biochemical pathways.Â
Excretion and EliminationÂ
l-glutamic acid is metabolized and eliminated, and excess vitamin B is often excreted through urine.Â
Administration: Â
The route of administration is oral.Â
The specific dosage and administration regimen depend on various factors, including individual health conditions and nutritional requirements.Â
