GlyNAC Supplement 700mg x 90 Capsules - Third Party Tested - Vitality Pro Glycine and NAC Supplement – 63 Grams

Product Information

Reduced symptoms of flu– In one 6-month study, people who took 600 mg of NAC two times a day had fewer flu symptoms than those who took a placebo. If we consider a person who weighs about 150 pounds then the dosages are around 7 grams of glycine and 9 grams of NAC. This is a lot and more than most supplements contain. Regardless of what amounts of GlyNac were used in research, there really isn't enough evidence to suggest an optimal amount for everybody. That said, 600 mg of each may be a starting point. Remember both glycine and cysteine are made by the body. It's quite possible younger, healthier people already make enough, making supplements unnecessary. What do the studies have in common? Elevated oxidative stress (OxS), mitochondrial dysfunction, and hallmarks of aging are identified as key contributors to aging, but improving/reversing these defects in older adults (OA) is challenging. In prior studies, we identified that deficiency of the intracellular antioxidant glutathione (GSH) could play a role and reported that supplementing GlyNAC (combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine [NAC]) in aged mice improved GSH deficiency, OxS, mitochondrial fatty-acid oxidation (MFO), and insulin resistance (IR). To test whether GlyNAC supplementation in OA could improve GSH deficiency, OxS, mitochondrial dysfunction, IR, physical function, and aging hallmarks, we conducted a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial.

We are very excited by the results," Sekhar said. "After taking GlyNAC for 24 weeks, all these defects in older adults improved and some reversed to the levels found in young adults." The researchers also determined that older adults tolerated GlyNAC well for 24 weeks. The benefits, however, declined after stopping GlyNAC supplementation for 12 weeks.N-acetyl cysteine ( NAC) can lower blood pressure. If combined with hypertension medications, blood pressure may go too low. It may also interact with blood thinner drugs too. Human studies suggest that for most people both glycine and cysteine are safe with no significant side effects. That said, some things to consider include: There is growing interest in being able to improve both healthy aging and longer life, but this is not an easy task. We have investigated aging in mice and in human studies for two decades, and our studies show that GlyNAC supplementation successfully and consistently improves many age-related defects," Sekhar said. "It is exciting that something as simple as GlyNAC can improve several important defects in aging and also extend life."

This nutritional supplement is an excellent source of sulphydryl groups, which is why it smells so atrociously of sulphur. When I first started taking NAC supplements, I laughed at how badly they smelled. Nonetheless, its extraordinary benefits make it a preferred supplement for me. But mice are not humans. Could this happen in people? There is published evidence from our human studies showing that GlyNAC supplementation improves similar defects in people," Sekhar said. Both words sound similar but they are different. Glutathione is an antioxidant compound. Glutamine is an amino. Does GlyNac raise NAD+ Levels? The combined RDA (recommended daily allowance) for methionine and cysteine is 19 mg/kg/day for all adult men and most adult women. This is enough for the majority of people to prevent any symptoms of deficiency. For instance, in a pilot human clinical trial in older adults, Sekhar's group showed that taking GlyNAC for 24-weeks improved many characteristic defects of aging, including glutathione deficiency, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, body fat and genomic damage. Importantly, the researchers also observed improvement in muscle strength, gait speed, exercise capacity and cognitive function.

GlyNAC; aging hallmarks; cognition; glutathione; inflammation; insulin resistance; mitochondrial function; oxidative stress; strength. Improved insulin sensitivity– Low serum glycine levels are associated with insulin resistance. However, this is likely because insulin resistance leads to a depletion in glycine. The older participants took GlyNAC for 24 weeks, and then stopped it for 12 weeks. Sekhar and his colleagues repeated the above measurements at the halfway point at 12 weeks, after 24 weeks of taking GlyNAC, and again after stopping GlyNAC for 12 weeks. Schizophrenics, carnivores with a high methionine intake, and people with difficulty sleeping may benefit from glycine doses higher than 5 grams.
