Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Just a thought, and I have *no idea* if this works or makes any sense, but here goes. In AI, Andy says if you are low glutathione, you can raise it by taking the precursors in this ratio: 4 parts NAC to 2 parts glutamine to 1 part glycine. Now, if you are high cysteine, you won't tolerate the NAC, and shouldn't take it. And I believe Andy has said (I might have heard say it) that in this case, to just take the glutamine and glycine, because you already have the cysteine. So this all makes sense to me. Here's my question. Would doing this help to lower your cysteine levels? Would some of your high or excess cysteine be used with the glutamine and glycine to make glutathione, thus lowering your cysteine levles? Does this make sense? Maybe a question for Andy? Comments anyone? Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
