      B's. Stop seeking fake supplements after videos made by shills like this one. Your problem is excess carbohydrates and amino acids deficiency. Become carnivore and do some fasting too. That's all you need and will be really effective instead of palliative.

    I just turned 66 and have been taking GlyNAC for a couple of months now. About four grams a day divided into morning and evening. Due to the fact that I've also been taking NMN for over a year now, along with other supplements to support that, I can't say that I've seen any major differences except for one. My mood has stabilized and I've become calmer. NMN did that also but GlyNAC has taken it down another notch as well. Noticed it right away. I work in a job that can produce a lot of stress at times. Now I find that, while I still do experience some stress , the intensity of it is much lower. It's funny because after a lifetime of getting all worked up about things that when it doesn't happen my brain gets confused. It wants to get all agro but can't and it actually feels somewhat disappointing. I wouldn't have it any other way and maybe someday that feeling will go away.

I had been referred to a specialist about the signs of non-alcoholic fatty liver syndrome, but in the blood tests I did since I started taking glynac, this is no longer being shown in my blood tests. I realize this is just anecdotal but this is the only thing I changed and it seems to have had a very positive effect. I am 61

    66 here. I eat a diet of mostly primary animal foods, meat, dairy, fruit, some nuts is the bulk, with some fermented foods. I dropped almost all supplements except amino acids: 4.5g NAC, 8g glycine, 2.5g Taurine, 6g creatine, split that in half and take one half in the morning, one half in the evening. My mood is brighter, energy is fairly stable all day, absence of really black moods or extreme downs, exercise seems a bit easier...all in all I'd say I get a definite boost from this. About four months in now. The most noticeable is cognition...things just seem to work better overall in terms of mental rapidity, access of memory and responding to events.

    Glycine is not rate limiting to GSH production normally, may be under some circumstances. They have not done the needed comparative study that compares NAC vs NAC + Glycine needed to really know if the glycine is additive to the NAC. In older people, it's possible, but that depends on factors like P intakes etc. It will also take higher doses of glycine than people may realize. BTW, whey is liklye superior to any of those due to glu-cys moiety which is rare in nature in anything but tiny amounts.

  • @user-wi3yx3gy2o
    @user-wi3yx3gy2o 7 місяців тому +9

    The thing is, NAC works on its own. Glycine is an abundant non-essential amino acid in food. This is not a single compound, but a mix of two compounds. If you could not synthesize glycine, even if you synthesized 1/10th of what you need, that would cause serious problems. And if you synthesized only half what you need, then that might mean that you should just eat 40-60 additional grams of protein per day that the normal minimum. But supplementing glycine is sort of odd because sure you can take as much as 4 grams per day (again there is no minimum nutritional requirement normally) but every 25 grams of protein will contain approximately 1 gram of glycine (and it can be synthesized also). So even 4 grams is a dose that would easily be replicated by increasing overall protein significantly less than 100 g per day. So the question is do glycine supplements work on their own? Does adding glycine to NAC work better than NAC?

  • @sparked3113

    I'm 65 and became interested in these precursors to improve liver function, which appears to have worked. 2 years ago, I was plagued with cramps and fatigue. D3 was another element of my recovery. I'm now supplementing heavily with a much wider range of vitamins, chelated minerals, aminos, berberine, Taurine, R-ALA and a lot more. I have felt better and better. In my case, it seems I was depleted in many things. But these two were the first, and made an obvious difference.

      Hey Dan, Is it possible that the reaction was caused by something else? If not that sounds like an allergic reaction. The research says NOT to keep taking it if you have such a reaction. I don't think I'd want to risk that. At the very least consult with a doctor. I personally haven't had that issue and I recently took straight NAC at a pretty high does. 6000mg several days in a row. I was taking it in an effort to prevent getting sick. I ended up with mild side effects but it gives you an idea about a range of tolerance.

      Great question. You'd have to check for different options and choose one you're most comfortable with. I see that Labcorp offers a test that measures levels of Glutathione also called GSH. Ideally you would do the test then take GlyNAC for a period of time and follow that up with another test. This could tell you if it's been effective and if you need to increase the dose etc. Hope that helps.

While whey protein has equal and smaller amounts of both glycine and cysteine, collagen peptides has over a gram of glycine in every tablespoon. Over 4 grams of glycine per 18 gram protein serving.

      Great question. There is research that indicates NAC may actually lower blood pressure. Here's one example.
      www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2721729/ That said, if you're taking medication you would want to be sure there are not any drug interactions. I'm certainly not qualified to give you the best answer there. I'd highly recommend you check with your doctor or pharmacist. Sorry I can't give you a more clear answer on this.

      Taurine has some pretty strong research. It would be hard to list all of the things that are good to take. I can share my current "longevity stack" if that helps. I am currently taking NMN, Creatine, TMG, GlyNAC, Collagen, Whey Protein, hyaluronic acid, saw palmetto (my hair is falling out), vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium. I also try to get at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil each day as well as 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk. I've also been taking omega-3's but have put that on pause for a little bit because I'm getting ready to start an experiment to see how much I can raise my omega-3 index. But normally I try to take omega-3's every day as well. I also need to mention that taking a bunch of supplements without following a healthy diet isn't going to help much. Regular exercise is also hugely important as well as good sleep. Hope that helps.

      No. Glycine is an amino acid. A building block for proteins. Where people might get confused is when going on a calorie restricted diet studies have shown that the addition of glycine helps prevent muscle loss. If someone hears "fat loss" and "glycine" together they may think it means glycine helps you lose fat by lowering the impact of carbohydrates. But it's the lowering of calories and or carbohydrates that does it. Not the glycine. I hope I'm answering your question. I hope it helps.

      The study which I have read, indicates that in mice when given Glynac at a later age, because it stops senescent cells in the lungs which is good but also senescent cells have on advantage. Because senescent cell are the cells way of stopping mutating cells becoming cancerous they turn them into senescy cells that no longer divide. Problem is when Glutathione the end product of Glynac is increased in older mice it stops senescent cells being senescent and they become cancerous, this occurred only in the lungs in one tenth of the mice with a certain gene. Humans share many of illnesses with mice that is why it has attracted attention. The paradox about this is that too many senescent cells because they are inflammatory often do cause cancers in people, as well as heart disease, dementia and many other illnesses

      GlyNAC is digested and absorbed by your body allowing your body to build glutathione and regulate how much goes to which cells and when. Liposomal Glutathione passes right by your bodies ability to regulate it and goes straight to the cells. The issue is you run the risk of jamming your cells with too much at the wrong times which can cause reductive stress and may actually accelerate aging rather than slow it down. Hope that helps.

      Yeah it does get expensive right? It's frustrating. I have a lot more to learn but the studies that show significant benefits were using pretty high doses. It seems a little prohibitive for most people. That said, my feeling is that "some" is better than nothing. Some benefit is better than no benefit. We all need to do the best we can with what we have to work with. If 600 mg is what you can do then that's what you can do. In my view it's still better than 0 mg. Honestly I wouldn't be too concerned about it. The more I study and the more I learn about health and longevity in general, the more I believe that the fact that you're "quite active" will help you more than any supplement. Just do the best you can. That may not be the answer you're looking for but I hope it helps.

    I appreciate your video but want to comment that a lot of health related videos, including yours, have the phrase, “As we age..” as if that fact is what causes a decline in glutathione or any and everything else. Is it the event of aging or a continued accumulation of toxins in our body from the air, food, and water? Why not say instead, as toxins bio accumulate in our bodies, glutathione or whatever, declines?

    • @JTJaredTaylor
      @JTJaredTaylor  7 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Great question. The reason people (including myself) say "As we age..." is because that is the most straightforward and accurate way to say it. Think of it this way. There is a reason professional athletes (in most sports) are considered too old by the time they reach their mid-thirties. It's not that toxins from food air and water have accumulated in their body, it's that as we get older things in our body change.
      Yes, we are still being exposed to toxins but healthy kidneys and a healthy liver will be removing most toxins and waste from your body. Our bodies change as we get older. For example your fast twitch muscle fibers start to atrophy at a faster rate especially after we reach our late 20's. These muscle fibers are responsible for explosive movement, power and speed.
      Hormone levels change. Testosterone levels decline in men and estrogen levels decline in women. This is one reason TRT or hormone replacement therapy has become so poplar. Bone density changes (becomes less dense). Your Vo2Max (cardio fitness) declines. Your body's ability to process protein and turn it in to muscle declines. You can still do it, but your body becomes less efficient at it. It becomes harder and harder to build muscle and strength. Stomach acid declines so foods are not digested as easily. Collagen levels start to decrease around your mid 20's and continue to decline every year, which is why we start to see wrinkles sometime in our 30's. Cells become older and stop dividing. NAD levels decline and as mentioned in the video Glutathione levels naturally begin to go down. The list goes on and on.
      We have to work at restoring or preventing or preserving these things much harder as we age, whereas when we're younger, we don't have to worry about it because all of these things are either improving or maintaining. That all changes later in life and it happens for the most part a little at a time over time. This is why people say "as we age.. this begins to happen etc" because that is really what's happening. I sure hope that helps answer your question. Thanks again.

    EVERYONE is not taking it. Most people don't even know what it is. Folks, don't get your medical advice off the internet.

      Don't take my word for it. There are plenty of studies that anyone can find and review themselves. I've linked to one in the description of this video.

      What? Tons of people take these. However, most just buy them separately because it's much less expensive than combined ones like DoNotAge.
