I take glycine in powdered form and NAC in capsules, just due to NAC having a taste that doesn’t compliment foods or drinks.

The powdered glycine will say how many milligrams are in a fraction of a teaspoon.

Is glycine itself essential for the cognitive restoration effect or is elevated glutathione the real goal? I ask because of the aforementioned problem I have with glycine causing heartburn. The liposomal glutathione supplements do not. The NAC part is trouble-free for me.

This study night shed some light on my question:

It is possible that glycine has benefits that occur irrespective of glutathione level.

I get some glycine from a collagen supplement but even that causes heartburn.

Thanks for all your posts.

Amazon has a pretty good offer for a liposomal glutathione product (+ sulforaphane and a bit of glycine, etc.) for $10.20 for 60 capsules so I bought six bottles. Enough for six months.

Glutathione is not a useful substitute for GlyNAC.

Glutathione cannot go all the places needed, such as within cells. Glutathione is made in cells from glycine and cysteine and at least one other molecule.

You are most welcome.

Maybe, maybe not. I don’t think enough research has been done to definitively answer the question.
