It's a natural amino acid bound to sodium. I don't know if monosodium glutamate (MSG) occurs in nature, but it's no more unnatural than the common mineral supplements chelated with an amino acid for better absorption.
However, even if something is natural it doesn't mean it's healthy. Mercury is natural, but very toxic. The active component of MSG, glutamic acid, is an excitatory neurotransmitter and if excessive amounts get into your brain it can cause dysfunction, damage and even death to some brain cells.
Some people are very sensitive to MSG, such as myself, and I will have trouble thinking, be very fatigued and sometimes get a headache if I eat MSG. When I was less sensitive, MSG still gave me severe social anxiety and depression.
