CYSTEINE SUPPLEMENTATION REDUCES AGE RELATED ILLNESSES
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that oxidative stress in older people increases largely due to the diminished synthesis of glutathione in the body. The comparison between eight younger subjects (20-40 years old) and eight older subjects (60-75 years old) found that the older group had 24.4% lower concentrations of cysteine, one of the amino acids that make up glutathione.
This is problematic because glutathione deficiency due to aging has shown to increase the amount of oxidative stress in the bodies, which has been linked to several age-related illnesses. Giving the older group oral supplements of cysteine was found to be effective in combating their reduced ability to synthesize glutathione and restored their glutathione levels to those comparable to the younger adults. This increase was associated with a “significant reduction” in oxidative stress and oxidant damage suffered by the older adults.
Simply put, older individuals need to supplement their diet with cysteine to combat the degenerative effects of aging. Seniors should consider using more effective means of supplementation in order to increase the efficacy their glutathione production. A product like RiboCeine combines ribose and cysteine, nutrients that are naturally occurring in humans, to enter the bloodstream in order to promote the creation of glutathione in a natural and direct manner.
