your comment is the first I’ve read of superoxide dismutase (SOD).
do taurine and cysteine individually increase SOD or do they work together like gly/nac work together to increase glutathione
Can you post more on that.
I did not know that our cysteine and taurine levels decline with age.
How much cystein and taurine do you recommend as a daily supplements.
Glutathione levels drop with age. But also auto immune and chronic diseases as well as high bmi push glutathione levels lower.
Have you seen that these diseases also lower cystein and taurine levels—and therefor SOD— beyond what aging does?
You’ve read my study posts on these. Taurine is the missing step for SOD creation and glycine and NAC make glutathione, for older people.
Adding back these amino acids lets the body again produce the glutathione and SOD our bodies lack as we age, creating ongoing inflammation that creates all sorts of formal “old age” health problems. The processes are still there, but show they are starved of key ingredients we once provided in abundance.
GlyNAC alone reverses a bunch of negative blood, brain, and even physical function indicators. When 80 year olds, in their standard walking gait, go from much slower walkers than 30 year olds to faster than the 30 year old walkers, something pretty amazing has happened.
I know I’ve stated these points in prior threads I’ve pinged you on.
