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.
