glutamate

when they say L-Glutamate, do they refere to L-Glutamic acid or the salt form ( L-Glutamic acid monopotasium salt hydrate) . I need L-glutamte and need to be taken up by glutamate transport on neurons
thanks

It does not matter. When they are dissolved in water, both give glutamate ion.

l-glutamic acid is soluble in water to ~8.6 mg/ml, in 1M hcl to at least 100 mg/ml.

the salt form is soluble in water to at least 100 mg/ml.
