Nestlé, through its Celltrient division, sells GlyNAC in servings of 600 mg or Glycine powder and 600 mg of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), saying a person should take two of those a day. However, studies done on older humans show taking much more (around 7,000 mg a day of each) provided major benefits, including a 15% eGFR improvement for kidneys.
Do note NAC interferes with apoptosis activities from antioxidants. It is also used by some cancers to protect themselves, too.
We do need cysteine (and glycine) for proper functioning and our bodies do not provide enough as we age. Supplementing makes sense, and I do take 1,800 mg a day of glycine and the same of NAC (both are cheap). I take them together for maximum glutathione conversion benefit, as Nestlé and Baylor suggest.

Interesting article. Glycine is readily available in many common foods, and our bodies also make some, so it seems unecessary to me to supplement it. Supplementing NAC, or glutathione itself, seems adequate. Oral glutathione is absorbed to a useful extent https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24791752/

“GlyNAC supplementation found to improve cognitive decline ...”
Why would you want to “improve” your cognitive decline?
Just sayin’.

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.
