GlyNAC (N-acetyl Cysteine & Glycine) (800mg x 120 Capsules)

GlyNAC combines glycine and N-acetylcysteine to provide the building blocks for glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant and detoxifier. Research suggests these amino acids work synergistically, enhancing glutathione production more effectively than when taken separately.

Description Of GlyNAC

GlyNAC—a synergistic blend of glycine and N-acetylcysteine (NAC)—is an innovative dietary supplement designed to bolster antioxidant defences, enhance detoxification, and support overall cellular health. Glycine is an amino acid and like NAC, glycine is needed to produce glutathione which is an antioxidant.

Benefits of GlyNAC

NAC, also called acetylcysteine is an antioxidant than can reduce inflammation too. It’s also been shown to reduce homocysteine levels, a substance linke to heart disease.  As we age, our body produces less glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect and recycle our cells. Optimal liver function is crucial as it is responsible for producing glutathione and helping to detoxify our body.

What the science says about GlyNAC

A randomized, double blind human clinical trial conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveals that supplementation with GlyNAC – a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine – improves many age-associated defects in older humans and powerfully promotes healthy aging. This is relevant because until now, there have been no solutions toward improving many of these age-related declines in people.

Published in the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences, the study shows that older humans taking GlyNAC for 16-weeks improved many characteristic defects of aging. This includes oxidative stress, glutathione deficiency and multiple aging hallmarks affecting mitochondrial dysfunction, mitophagy, inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, genomic damage, stem cell fatigue and cellular senescence. These were associated with improvements in muscle strength, gait speed, exercise capacity, waist circumference and blood pressure. “This is the first randomized clinical trial of GlyNAC supplementation in older humans, and it found that a wide variety of age-associated abnormalities improved in older adults supplemented with GlyNAC, while no improvements were seen in those receiving placebo,” said corresponding author Dr. Rajagopal Sekhar, professor of medicine – endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at Baylor.

“One of the intriguing questions from this trial is why so many improvements occur toward promoting health. We believe that this is due to the combined effort of three separate components – glycine, cysteine (from NAC) and glutathione, and not just due to glutathione itself. Glycine and cysteine are both very important for cellular health on their own, and GlyNAC provides both. Glycine and cysteine are building blocks to form glutathione, which also has health benefits. We believe that the improvements in this trial and in our previous studies are the result of the combined effects of glycine and NAC and glutathione, and we refer to this combination as the ‘Power of 3,” said Sekhar.
