Supplementing with this one amino acid can make you live longer

Glycine is one of my favorite health promoting substances.

It is an amino acid — one of the building blocks of protein.

Gelatin and collagen are proteins which are abundant sources of glycine.

Traditionally, we have eaten quite a lot of glycine.

But in recent years, Western countries have started to avoid glycine containing meat and products in favour of muscle meat.

We are getting less glycine than we used to.

But glycine is essential for balancing the inflammatory potential of animal proteins. 

Glycine, collagen, and gelatin all have anti-inflammatory effects.

The health benefits of glycine are almost infinite.

I’ve written about many of them before — including numerous lines of research that show glycine could increase lifespan.

Just recently, another animal study showed that glycine can significantly increase average lifespan and maximum lifespan.

It’s a nutrient you do not want to miss out on.

The animal research was carried out at the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research, University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

The paper was published in Aging Cell.

I have made reference to previous research showing that glycine extends longevity in rodents in both my emails and newsletters. 

Those previous studies gave the impetus for this research.

“A small prior study has suggested that supplemental glycine could extend the lifespan of rats.”

The researchers were curious about the validity of the study — and how it would transfer onto different animals. 

So they conducted a similar experiment where mice (instead of rats) were given extra supplemental glycine.

The glycine-fed mice were given 8% of their calories from this anti-inflammatory amino acid. 

The researchers used both male and female mice and compared those mice against the same type of animal given a standard diet.

“We evaluated the effects of an 8% glycine diet on lifespan and pathology of mice in the context of the Interventions Testing Programme.”

This is part of a series of research experiments looking for substances which could safely increase longevity.

The researchers confirm the findings of the rat experiments — mice given extra glycine live longer.

“Elevated glycine led to a 4%-6% lifespan increase in male and female mice.”

Not only did the mice live significantly longer, the maximum lifespan was also increased significantly.

“Elevated glycine led to an increase in maximum lifespan in both males and females.”

Female mice given supplemental glycine were lighter.

I suspect this may be because of an anti-estrogen effect of glycine. 

You see the high levels of estrogen in females causes weight gain from water retention and increased fat.

There was no difference in body weights in male animals glycine compared with those in a normal diet.

“Glycine supplemented females were lighter than controls, but there was no effect on weight in males.”

The animals were autopsied — and the researchers looked for signs of a few dozen of the most common causes of death.

The researchers found animals given glycine had significantly lower rates of pulmonary adenocarcinoma — a type of potentially lethal lung cancer.

“Glycine-treated mice were less likely than controls to die of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.”

None of the causes of death assessed in the research were found to be increased in animals which were given glycine.

“Of the 40 varieties of incidental pathology evaluated in these mice, none were increased to a significant degree by the glycine-supplemented diet.”

Some researchers believe that the longevity-promoting effects of glycine may be due to its actions in opposing another inflammatory amino acid called methionine. 

Methionine restriction diets also increase lifespan. Glycine helps to detoxify methionine.

“Diets low in methionine extend lifespan of rodents and glycine can mitigate methionine toxicity.”

Much of the previous research which is used to argue that low-calorie diets or low-protein diets increase longevity can be explained by these diets simply limiting methionine intake.

And if the theory is true, then limiting calories, protein, or methionine is not even necessary. 

Assuring adequate glycine intake could be all that’s needed to significantly increase lifespan.

Collagen and gelatin both contain almost 25% glycine by weight — they are the best sources of this anti-inflammatory super nutrient.

I like to get a couple of ounces of collagen or gelatin every day.

—-Important Message About Living a Longer, Healthier, Happier Life—-

Rich celebrities take this anti-aging supplement — now you and I can too

For more than 50 years, the natural anti-aging hormone known only as CID5920 was kept secret from men like you and me.

It was only made available to the rich and famous elites…

Like Rod Stewart, who has been using CID5920 to maintain an intense touring schedule in his late 70s that young men can only envy…

I have managed to get a secret video showing actual case studies of men just like you and me…

…men who have been taking CID5920 and are living decades longer, healthier, happier,  and sexier.

But for how long will the window be open to men like you and me? 

We don’t know. It could be gone tomorrow…don’t kick yourself because you lost out…

Here’s how to get CID5920 before it’s gone again.
