Here’s the thread

> ITP study showed a 6% life extension in mice by Glycine, another study showed a 20% life extension in mice my Glycine + NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), That is close to Rapamycin territory. Rapamycin inhibits MTOR, and thats the theory on the reasons of longevity. Amino acids activate MTOR and Glycine and NAC are amino acids, so should in theory not be longevity candidates. I am using Glycine 8mg and NAC 3mg a day, started 3 weeks ago after reading the results from the mouse study and reading about other benefits of this supplement combo. I have to say that after a week or so I felt amazing, much more energy, never tired after exercise and lots of libido. I will receive my first batch of Rapamycin in a week or 2 from Singapore, hopefully it will not be confiscated in customs. Can I use Glycine+NAC together with Rapamycin? or should I choose one or the other?
