Närokällan GlyNAC 90 capsules

Närokällan GlyNAC is a combination of special amino acids.

Glycine and NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine). This is an important component in the body's production of glutathione.

What is glycine?

Glycine is one of the 20 amino acids that form the building blocks of proteins. It is the simplest and least complex of the 20 amino acids. Glycine has a single hydrogen atom as a side chain, which makes it unique compared to other amino acids that have more complex side chains.

Amino acid: Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning the body can produce it on its own. However, it is also an essential amino acid under certain conditions, especially in infants.

Function in the body: Glycine has several important functions in the body. It is involved in the synthesis of proteins, is an important component of collagen (which gives structure to skin, hair and nails), acts as a signaling substance in the central nervous system and is part of the formation of some biologically important substances.

Availability: Glycine is found naturally in foods such as meat, fish, dairy products and legumes. It is also used as a dietary supplement.

What is NAC?

NAC stands for N-acetylcysteine, which is an amino acid and a form of cysteine. Cysteine ​​is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in the formation of glutathione, an important antioxidant in the body.

Cysteine ​​as a precursor: Cysteine ​​acts as a precursor or building block for glutathione. The body uses cysteine ​​to synthesize glutathione.

Regeneration: A unique property of glutathione is its ability to regenerate itself. It can restore its antioxidant activity after neutralizing a free radical by using cysteine ​​as an important component in this regeneration process.
