I’m still trying to picture the tiny hypodermics
they used to inject the fruit flys...
Look at all the effects of the mTOR system.(see wikepedia, for an example) Ya’ think we’re gonna tease out the mechanism of action soon? There are also other naturally occuring foods which have some mTOR activity. Everyone wants a magic pill....uhhh...uhhh..uhhhh....not so fast....
Cherry the fruit, is supposed to do the same as this drug, without the side affects.
Hi and God bless you for these wonderful posts. Can you tell me what doses you take for each and what your source is for Urolithin A?
Nestle's Celltrient Cellular Strength is what we've been getting for Urolithin A. Amazon has it on subscription at a reasonable price, but there are other places that also carry it, sometimes for rather lower prices.
By the way, welcome to Free Republic!
Thank you. You’re very kind to do all this.
May I ask you about the reasoning behind your dosages?
Nestle’s product is 2 600mg doses of Glycine and NAC combined and taken twice daily for a total of 1200mg each. Why are you taking more?
From the study on Taurine it indicated 3g a day, but you’re taking less. I haven’t seen a dose suggestion regarding Urolithin A. Is that all Nestle offers (2x 500mg/day) or are there studies supporting 1000mg dose/day. If you wouldn’t mind explaining your thinking behind your dosing, I’d appreciate it very much.
The study I posted on Taurine did mention 500 mg 3 times a day, but said more would likely be better.
The Urolithin A studies have used either 500 or 1,000 a day. At least one study used both.
So no health risks from taking these doses or these levels? Thanks. I cannot tell you how wonderful your posts are.
I can say the doses my wife and I are taking are working well for us.
The study on the high dose GlyNAC described for the older people involved that they had very few issues, but the maximum time used was 24 weeks and they were under close monitoring.
You should read the studies and determine what you want to do, if anything.
Thanks. I am and I will. I am not relying on you, so I hope it doesn’t seem like that. I respect your insights. I’m taking 3g of Taurine and otherwise following the studies guidelines. I have not added UA, but may. It’s hard to know if the expense is worth it. Do you know of any tests that would clarify the results individually?
It helped human and mouse test subjects, but with the Taurine and GlyNAC, results would be confounded.
Taurine and GlyNAC are a less expensive alternative with some overlapping benefits.
