Glutamic acid, structurally different from glutamine, is a non-essential amino acid that the body uses to build proteins. High-protein foods like meats, poultry, fish, and eggs are good sources of glutamic acid.
Preliminary studies suggest that glutamic acid plays a beneficial role in prostate health. Some evidence also suggests that glutamic acid may have a protective effect on the heart as well.
Since adequate amounts of glutamic acid are present in a diet that consists of a generous amount of protein-rich foods, then the majority of people won't require it in supplement form. Furthermore, glutamic acid can be created from other amino acids if none is available for normal body function - thus it is referred to as a 'non-essential' amino acid.
However, higher-than-normal levels of glutamic acid have demonstrated favorable health results where the prostate, the heart, the liver, and even mental function and genetics are concerned. So, while we don't need to take supplemental glutamic acid, glutamic acid therapy continues to be studied to fully understand its benefits for the human body.
Currently, glutamic acid is used alone and in combination with other vitamins, minerals, and herbs known to promote prostate health.

Conrad Von Soest: Painter among Merchant Princes
Publisher's Notes This book is the first fully illustrated and comprehensive monograph devoted to the Westphalian artist Conrad von Soest, who played a pivotal role in the development of North European art around 1400, and whose elegant and luxurious altarpieces highlight a fascinating period of German social and economic history. His complete oeuvre is reproduced here in 34 colour plates as well as a host of black and white, detail and comparative illustrations. Among the works are the famous Niederwildungen and Dortmund altarpieces as well as the smaller scale panels which project in their rich and exquisitely painted figures both the importance of their subjects and the sophistication of their donors. Dr Corley has researched Conrad's work in depth setting it in the context of his period and his early training in Paris in the 1380s. His iconography and style are analyzed, particularly the vibrant and vigourous under-drawing revealed by infra-red photography which has helped the author to establish, among the works attributed to him, which of these were from his hand and which by his workshop or imitators. Finally, she has traced his legacy throughout the countries in the sphere of the Hanseatic League and his influence over later German masters of the School of Cologne. A detailed Catalogue and an extensive Bibliography establish the known corpus of his oeuvre.
