Summary: <p>Tinnitus is ringing in the ears, and it can drive a person crazy. Today I want to cover some tips to get rid of tinnitus naturally. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Tinnitus is a little bit mysterious and hasn’t been fully figured out. Typical treatments for tinnitus are medications called Gabapentin and Klonopin. </p> <p><br></p> <p>These two medications both have a mechanism to increase GABA in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and slows down the central nervous system. </p> <p><br></p> <p>An interesting study shows that people with tinnitus may have lowered GABA and upregulated glutamate. Glutamate stimulates the brain. </p> <p><br></p> <p>The problem with GABA supplements is that they don’t cross the blood-brain barrier. This means they will have a difficult time penetrating into the brain to create any effect. </p> <p><br></p> <p>However, an amino acid called taurine turns into GABA and can pass the blood-brain barrier. Just be sure to take taurine on an empty stomach.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In addition to increasing GABA, it’s essential to inhibit glutamate. MSG and aspartame are high in glutamate, so it’s important to avoid foods containing these ingredients. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Other sources of glutamate to avoid: </p> <p> • Hydrolyzed protein </p> <p> • Calcium caseinate </p> <p> • Yeast extract </p> <p> • Textured protein </p> <p> • Whey protein </p> <p> • Soy protein isolates </p> <p> • Soy sauce </p> <p><br></p> <p>DATA:</p> <p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006295222001617" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3285819/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/neurotoxins-and-tinnitus-aspartame-msg-solutions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.tinnitusformula.com/libra...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.truthinlabeling.org/names.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.truthinlabeling.org/names... </a></p> <p><a href="https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2013/6/the-forgotten-longevity-benefits-of-taurine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.lifeextension.com/magazin... </a></p>
