It seems like if I countinue to take multivitamins for a long period of time ( week or two) I start to notice negative symptoms, I'm about 90% sure I'm allergic to monosodium glutamate ( still in question about gluten)... is there monosodium glutamate in multivitamins? Such as Rainbow Light, One a Day

Maybe. It depends.

Glutamic acid is one of many amino acids. There are at least twenty of them. It is present in varying amounts in most proteins.

When combined with sodium (as a salt), the resulting compound is monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Monosodium glutamate in its pure form is a white crystalline powder. It is sold by the name Accent among others.

It would be unlikely that monosodium glutamate would be included in the ingredients of a multivitamin as such. But other ingredients containing glutamic acid (bound with other amino acids to form proteins) could be present.

So the monosodium glutamate in vitamins occurs during the process of the product?

Thanks

      Can you link the 2019 JAMA study? When you say "massive doses of D" how large are you talking about?

      Yes, Yaya, it is possible to develop vitamin D toxicity with overdosing since it is a fat soluble vitamin but the dosage needed to get to that point is much larger than was thought years ago. Years ago, doctors were very cautious about D supplementation but more recently the medical community has relaxed their caution as it proved to be overdone. Individual...

      Kitty, Be careful with massive transfusions of D, it's dangerous per my cardiologist. Your note made me confirm and he's right.

Individual practitioners are not always up to date on everything and sometimes are operating on dated information.

      Kitty, Be careful with massive transfusions of D, it's dangerous per my cardiologist.  Your note made me confirm and he's right.  I found this article called:  Too much vitamin D may harm bones, not help - Harvard Health The study was released on Dec 1, 2019 · and appeared in the Aug. 27 issue of JAMA which found that, compared with people who took moderate amounts of vitamin D, adults who took large amounts daily not only didn't see additional gains in bone density, but in some cases ended up worse off.  I especially must be careful because, like many Celiacs, I have low bone density.  I have been taking Prolia shots for about 5 years.   Also there is such a thing as vitamin D toxicity per my cardiologist.  That's why he carefully monitors my #s and wants me to raise levels slowly.   Take care.
