We get these two amino acids, but instead of NAC, it’s l-cysteine, from meat and other foods. For some reason, getting it from those sources makes it unavailable to benefit us the same way, or everyone would stay young from just eating meat and dairy, in my humble opinion.
Try it all together if you want. The participants had their GlyNAC dose at prescribed times, by itself, to my understanding, as part of the study, but it might work, otherwise.
I’d give it at least a half hour. That’s what I do.
I have heard that a diet of ruminant animal meat, such as beef, eggs, liver, bacon, grass fed butter and little else gives you similar benefits — weight loss, reduced insulin levels, reduced inflammation, cognitive improvements.
Those foods supply plenty of amino acids and if other foods aren’t consumed perhaps the body can concentrate its efforts on the production of glutathione.
In any case, I thought it was interesting that there seems to be a reason that this particular diet and these amino acid supplements give such a similar result.
“I’d give it at least a half hour.”
I’m not sure what you are saying.
