GlyNAC

Product Information

GlyNAC is a supplement that combines Glycine with N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. Taking both these amino acids together optimizes glutathione levels for optimal health benefits, especially for older people and people with certain chronic diseases. Glutathione is made from three amino acids, namely glycine, cysteine, and glutamate.  While there is usually ample glutamate in the body, glycine and cysteine are the two rate limiting amino acids in glutathione production, which can be boosted by supplementation.

Benefits of GlyNAC

  • Improvements in glutathione deficiency and levels of oxidative stress. 
  • Improvements in markers of inflammation, insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endothelial dysfunction. 
  • GlyNAC improves the respiratory function as it acts as an expectorant when faced with a viral infection such as seasonal influenza.  It helps to get rid of mucus build-up and decrease the amount of mucus production.  It has also been shown to inhibit the replication of viruses, such as the influenza virus.
  • GlyNAC also shows promise as treatment for people trying to overcome drug addiction, as research has shown it helps to reduce the cravings for a number of addictions, including cocaine, cannabis, and tobacco.
  • It has been shown to improve acne when applied as a topical cream.
  • Supplementation with GlyNAC has shown improvements in muscle strength, physical capacity, and walking speed.
  • GlyNAC easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier to help regulate the amount of glutathione in the brain, where glutathione acts as a neurotransmitter sending signals between neurons in the brain, playing an important role in learning and memory.  GlyNAC, as a precursor for glutathione, boosts brain health with its powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and free radical scavenging actions; thus reducing oxidative stress, and free radical damage in the brain.
  • GlyNAC supplementation may result in significant improvement with depression, as well as with brain disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, also showing improvement in patients recovering from traumatic brain injury.  It could also play a role in slowing the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
  • As GlyNAC is a precursor to glutathione, the most powerful antioxidant in the body, it helps to improve immune surveillance, by enhancing the ability to fight off viruses and infections. 

How GlyNAC works

Normal aging and age-related disorders lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, when energy producing mitochondria in cells don’t work as well as they should, with an increase in free radicals, both of which accelerate aging and contribute to the onset of age-related diseases such as chronic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorder, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, and others.  Glutathione is found in all cells of the body and is a powerful antioxidant that addresses mitochondrial dysfunction and the oxidative stress (an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants) caused by free radicals.  

GlyNAC supplementation increases the production of glutathione, which is made from three amino acids, namely glycine, cysteine, and glutamate.  While there is usually ample glutamate in the body, glycine and cysteine are the two rate limiting amino acids in glutathione production, which can be boosted by supplementation.
