there was a previous thread about glutamate.

“Evidence suggests that IL-1 can potentiate or inhibit the effects of glutamate. IL-1b causes “synaptic hyperexcitability” and neuronal degeneration [40]. This isn’t conducive to stable thinking.”
I’ll turn 70 next week. I’ve been giving blood regularly for the last half year on the theory that, I’ll completely change out my blood in another year or so. That the new blood my body generates will improve my health. That this is a cheap way to do what the super rich do in buying young blood for transfusions.
Granted new blood generated by my body is not as good as young blood but I’ve been taking plenty of NAC, glycine and and B3 variations—plus a bunch of other supplements—to push up various blood markers to more youthful levels.
My question is —do either of you know enough on the subject to say as to whether the new blood my body generates after giving blood—has some longevity benefits?
