Info: 100 Capsules Glycine + 120 Tablets of Extra Strength NAC
Early research has shown that a combination of Glycine and NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) can facilitate glutathione production which might work to improve a number of age-related health concerns, while boosting muscle strength and cognition. Here you can purchase a package of the two formulas from NOW: 120 Tablets of NAC (1000 mg), plus 100 Capsules of Glycine (1000 mg).

Product Notes:
GlyNAC: Pioneering Cellular Nutrition for Healthy Aging
A promising new combination of existing ingredients, GlyNAC is a patented compound of amino acids that are precursors of glutathione, a powerful natural antioxidant. GlyNAC is a new formula in the United States, and it was launched at an unusual time, as the US FDA is currently debating how to classify NAC products in that country.
Ingredients Available Individually in Canada
It's new, so products using the compound's name have yet to be reviewed and approved for sale in Canada, but GlyNAC supplements consist of Glycine and N-Acetyl Cysteine, long established ingredients that are licensed as natural health products by Health Canada and available individually in Canada. For example, one serving of Celltrient Cellular Protect (a US GlyNAC formula) provides 600 mg Glycine and 600 mg of NAC.
Some related products include:
Pure Encapsulations NAC + Glycine (GlyNAC) Powder
Natural Factors Glutathione LipoMicel Matrix
Pure Encapsulations Liposomal Glutathione * Pure Encapsulations NAC
Celltrient™ Cellular Protect is a trademark of Nestlé. Health Canada and the US FDA have yet to evaluate the claims made by that product's manufacturer. GlyNAC is licensed by Nestlé from Baylor College of Medicine. A potential release date for their product in Canada is not known at this time.
Ingredients:
This package contains two different products from NOW Foods/NOW Sports: Glycine and N‐Acetyl Cysteine. Please consult the individual product pages for detailed information on ingredients, usage information, potential side effects, and warnings.
