COMBINATION OF VITAL NUTRIENTS: Reduced glutathione is a linear, water-soluble tripeptide formed by 3 amino acids, glutamate, cysteine and glycine
(Clin Transl Med, 2021) in 24 older adults (aged 61-80) found that supplementation with GlyNAC (glycine 100 mg/kg/day + NAC 100 mg/kg/day, approximately 7 g each for a 70 kg person) for 16 weeks corrected glutathione deficiency and improved multiple hallmarks of aging including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, body composition, exercise capacity, and cognition [10]
When oxidative stress (from inflammation, toxins, or mitochondrial dysfunction) depletes GSH faster than glutathione reductase can regenerate it, the ratio drops, triggering cellular stress responses including NF-kB activation and apoptosis

However, recent investigations have illustrated that intake of ketogenic diets may result in various side effects such as cognitive decline and risk of cardiovascular events [19, 20], despite unknown mechanism
