Glycine: Anti-Inflammatory Micronutrient
In this review, we emphasize that glycine exerts its anti-inflammatory effects throughout the modulation of the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in many cells. Although glycine is a non-essential amino acid, we highlight how dietary glycine supplementation is important in avoiding the development of chronic inflammation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37510995
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) treats and prevents Respiratory Diseases
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a versatile compound with notable applications in respiratory health due to its mucolytic (mucus-thinning), antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have explored its potential benefits across various respiratory conditions. Key Findings from Recent Research:Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):A comprehensive review highlighted that high-dose NAC (≥1200 mg/day) can reduce the frequency of COPD…
Alpha-lipoic Acid Review: Anti-Aging, Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, and Neuroprotective Effects
Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant made by the body. It is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack “free radicals,” waste products created when the body turns food into energy. It is also available as a dietary supplement Alpha-lipoic Acid: An Antioxidant with Anti-aging Properties for Disease Therapy Numerous in silico,…
Why I’m taking Gly-NAC?
Glutathione (GSH) and its precursors (NAC and glycine) are critical in combating oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. NAC and glycine supplementation shows promise in improving metabolic, reproductive, cardiovascular, and aging-related health outcomes. Combined supplementation (e.g., GlyNAC) often yields synergistic benefits, particularly in aging and chronic disease contexts. Future research should focus on long-term effects,…
