Chemically, MSG is a white crystalline powder that resembles table salt or sugar. It combines sodium and glutamic acid, known as a sodium salt.

the glutamic acid in MSG is made by fermenting starches, but there is no chemical difference between the glutamic acid in MSG and that in natural foods.

however, the glutamic acid in MSG may be easier to absorb because it isn't bound inside big protein molecules that your body needs to break down.
