See GlyNAC supplementation extends life span in mice

Wondering what dose in humans of Glycine and NAC would provide similar benefits in humans?

FWIW
on Dr. Green’s web site I recall he wrote about a study{link below]taking
NAC 9 grams {yes grams]and 7 grams of glycine per day. He also speaks about this dosing in one of his interviews.

Thanks Joseph. That dosing seems very high on his website (derived from a Baylor study)

I am actually a patient of Dr. Green’s and have taken NAC and glycine in the doses indicated on his website for approximately 8 months. I have noticed very little, if any benefit from doing this.

what’s the dosages Dr. Green prescribes?

#7

As in the study he quotes, 9-10 grams of cystine and 7-8 grams of glycine per day as I weigh about 76 killograms. I’ve been taking 4 600mg NAC capsules with measured loose powder with equates to 2 grams of glycine four times a day.

I’m a patient of dr. Green. I am 215, 6’1. He told me to take 12gm of glycine and 13gm of NAC. I workout and noticed my grip strength became considerably better after a few months. A year later, my grip strength still amazes me.

You take the NAC and Glycine in power/tablet form?

You say you workout. Assuming you do some standard lifts, have you experienced considerable increases in pondages lifted in some or all of your lifting?

I take NAC as a pill (tastes like sulfur). Easier to swallow. Glycine has been powdered granules.

I am Apoe4 positive. It’s what led me to Dr. Green and Rapamycin. Apoe4 people have a higher incidence of mitochondrial dysfunction vs regular population. I am in good shape and have always been strong. Before Gly/nac protocol, I would always feel that my grip and forearms would give out before my muscles would need to stop exerting. Once gly/nac started working, I have not had any issues with a loss of grip strength. Quite the opposite. My hands are now like vices. Last May, I brought my mother to Dr. Green for her consultation. I told him I felt that my grip strength had increased and he told me that was one of the main subjective measures that it was working. He brought out a grip strength device for me to squeeze. He looked at the reading, laughed and told me it was very good.

Yes, due to increased grip strength alone, my strength is stronger than it was when I started bodybuilding in my 20s. A lot of us here throw the entire “kitchen sink” at longevity. Another reason I can lift and be strong like I was 20 years ago, is that since starting Rapa, I have had almost zero inflammation. Where I used to be chronically nagged by shoulder, knee, bicep, etc issues, I have been injury free for 3.5 years and pain free. This obviously helps in all regards.

Any side effects with such a large weekly dose? I seem to have started getting skin infections at 6mg weekly. So I’ve started alternating 6mg one week, and 3mg the next. I also take other supplements that could be slowing my rapa metabolism and effectively lengthening the half-life. So far so good!
