Good morning, everyone. Yesterday, a group member asked me if glutathione supplements work.
Glutathione A simple answer:
Glutathione works, glutathione supplements don’t.
Because:
- Intravenous glutathione is injected to avoid the breakdown of the gastrointestinal tract in order to achieve the purpose of supplementation
- Oral supplement itself is low in content. Content that meets only the identification requirements of the regulations.
Personally, I think it’s better to consider a glycine supplement than a glutathione supplement.
Glycine has many anti-aging benefits
- Simulated methionine restriction
- Increased autophagy and glutathione
- Collagen synthesis
- Inhibition of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE)
- Lower your blood sugar
- Promote good sleep quality
Glycine is considered a non-essential amino acid because the body can synthesize it.
However, the body only produces 3 grams per day, which is not enough for optimal collagen turnover and other important functions.
How much glycine does the body need most:
- You need 3 grams of glycine to make creatine, glutathione, and heme
- For collagen turnover, you need at least 12 grams of glycine
Therefore, you need at least 15 grams of glycine per day (supplemental content depending on body weight).
The reason we don’t produce the optimal amount of glycine is because glycine synthesis in the body is not regulated by its needs.
Glycine biosynthesis is a weak link in metabolism.
One of the biggest longevity benefits of glycine is the restriction of methionine. Studies have found that excess methionine and low glycine shorten the lifespan of animal species, while glycine can counteract the harmful effects of excess methionine.
As for the role of glycine in protecting the heart and promoting sleep, we’ll talk about that later.
Some foods rich in glycine are introduced to you:
Gelatin, pig skin, chicken skin, sheep skin, beef and so on
Have a great weekend.
