My Approach to Longevity
As a long time reader and follower of the science based approach to health and longevity, here I describe the basis of my current regiment. It may not suit everybody, but works for me. Optimizing Longevity and Health: The Synergistic Benefits of Glycine, NAC, Taurine, Creatine, Vitamins C & D, Niacin, and Magnesium with a…
Is it better to take amino acid supplements with food or alone?
The best way to take amino acid supplements depends on your goal, type of amino acid, and absorption efficiency. Here’s a breakdown of when it’s better to take them with food vs. on an empty stomach. ✅ Take Amino Acids on an Empty Stomach If:1️⃣ You’re Taking Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) or Branched-Chain Amino Acids…
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

What Could Go Wrong? Radioprotective Strategies & How to Mitigate
Radiation DamageIntroduction: Understanding Radiation RisksRadiation exposure, whether from nuclear accidents, medical scans, air travel, or cosmic rays, can damage DNA, increase cancer risk, and accelerate aging. But not all radiation exposure is equal—low doses might be harmless (or even beneficial, as per hormesis), while high doses can be dangerous. This guide covers radioprotective strategies, including:✔…
Why I’m taking Glycine? .
existing evidence suggests that glycine prolongs life by mimicking methionine restriction and activating autophagy.
Diet Tips for Optimizing the Glycine/Methionine Ratio
A. Prioritize Collagen-Rich Foods Collagen is naturally high in glycine and helps counterbalance methionine-rich muscle meats. B. Incorporate Gelatin C. Limit Excessive Methionine Reduce large portions of pure muscle meat (e.g., chicken breast, steak), or combine it with glycine-rich sides like broth or gelatin. D. Consider Glycine Supplementation For a precise glycine boost, glycine powder…
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,…
