GABA is the primary "inhibitory" neurotransmitter, meaning it helps quiet the nervous system and promotes relaxation
Supplies Needed You need: one GHK-Cu lyophilized vial (typically 50 mg or 100 mg), bacteriostatic water (BAC water, containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol), insulin syringes (29 to 31 gauge, 0.5 inch), and alcohol swabs
How to implement: Dosing: General health : 5-10 grams daily Glutathione optimization : 10-15 grams daily (divided doses) Aging/longevity : 15 grams daily (research shows benefits for lifespan) Forms: Glycine powder : Tasteless, mixes in water/coffee/smoothies Collagen peptides : 10-20 grams daily (33% glycine by weight = ~3-7g glycine) Bone broth : Rich source (8-10g glycine per cup) Timing: With meals (supports protein synthesis) Before bed : 3-5 grams (improves sleep quality via NMDA receptor modulation) Synergy with NAC: Combine NAC (600 mg 2 daily) + Glycine (5g 2 daily) for maximum glutathione boost Research shows this combination increases glutathione more than either alone [11] Evidence: A study in older adults found that glycine supplementation (15g daily) increased glutathione by 25% and reduced oxidative stress markers by 30% within 2 weeks [12]
Easy measuring 1 unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) is about 267 mcg total: ~167 mcg GHK-Cu + ~33 mcg of each of the other three
When you're logging big miles or hitting intense training blocks, maintaining adequate glutathione levels prevents that typical post-workout immune crash that leaves you defenseless
