It is not easy to get nutrients into spinal discs, but it does appear disc cells do generate glutathione from what nutrients they do receive.

Glutathione is generated through a complex process, but there are a few known ways to help encourage this process. One, is by being young, as your body easily creates glycine and cysteine, two conditional amino acids that are crucial to the glutathione process.

For older adults, this process starts breaking down. Scientists have found we can reinitialize the creation of glutathione by supplementing with equal parts glycine and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). These work together to heal the missing parts of broken glutathione process in older adults. Several study writeups on “GlyNAC” have been previously posted (search in the title or for the keyword) for insights on this.

There is a supplement called “glutathione reduced,” which is apparently the only form that can successfully make it through your stomach. Some studies show that also works.

The difference between GlyNAC and the “glutathione reduced” is that the GlyNAC allows your cells to make it where it is already known to need it, while the glutathione reduced would have to “find its way” to the right places. This would tend to be less useful.

This study is one of several (the others I saw didn’t have a free journal version) discussing the importance of glutathione in preventing back issues with disc degeneration.

I hope it can help a few here with back issues. I will say that GlyNAC has been shown to revitalize mitochondria, bringing the cell they are within, back to life, as well.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

Yes...to what CaptainPaintball said...!!!!!

Could this be the relief asked for? without surgery and high percentage of paralysis?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Thanks I will add glycine to our daily. We already take NAC. Anything to get the old back working better!

Does it need to be exactly a one to one ratio?

[ConservativeMind]

Ping to you.
