Boosts savory umami taste by stimulating tongue receptors and is the sodium salt of glutamic acid (naturally found in tomatoes, cheese and meat); however, it delivers high sodium levels that can elevate blood pressure and cardiovascular strain with frequent use, and a subset of consumers report symptoms like headaches, sweating or palpitations (though large-scale studies find it safe for most at typical levels).
