Our cells are made to produce Glutathione, this powerful antioxidant, directly where it's needed, but it needs those building blocks that we stop making, as we age. You see, it wasn't really known, but all of those “conditional” amino acids we can make, if we don't get them from foods? Well, we stop making enough and very key processes break down.
How do you get the Glutathione making process restarted? Take equal amounts of Glycine and Cysteine (NAC), at least 1,200 mg of each a day, seemingly no more than 600 mg of each at a time. Take them together. They migrate throughout your body and into cells exactly where needed and your cells work right, again.
The same thing is strangely true of Taurine, which we used to make, but supplementing just 500 mg of Taurine powder three times a day made Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), another powerful antioxidant, increase over 20% in our bodies in a study.
Who would have thought these were no longer properly being made by our bodies?
Take the GlyNAC and the Taurine separate from other foods, to better assure they get where they are supposed to go, and are not brought into some protein function. I do take GlyNAC with the Taurine, though.
Thank you. Any opinions on CoQ10 or ubiquinone?
