In the last decade, the results of hundreds of studies in animal models have suggested that gut dysbiosis may play a role in several metabolic disturbances. Furthermore, in rodents, the implantation of certain bacteria…
GlyNAC supplementation plays a beneficial role in promoting brain health and cognitive function in aging
As people get older, they aspire to live healthy lives as free as possible from the natural decline of cognitive abilities that occurs with aging.

They report today in the journal Antioxidants that supplementing GlyNAC – a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine as precursors of the natural antioxidant glutathione – improved or reversed age-associated cognitive decline in old mice and improved multiple associated defects in the aging brain. The findings are consistent with the improvements…
