Hypothesis
Supplementation with Glycine and N-Acetyl Cysteine can restore cellular glutathione levels in older adults.
Conclusion
Restoring glutathione through supplementation can improve antioxidant status in older adults.

- Supplementation can restore cellular glutathione levels.
Takeaway
Older people often lack a substance called glutathione that helps keep them healthy, but giving them certain nutrients can help fix that.
