For those who eat bone broth

Interesting info/gelatin/take glycine. 10 gram a day shortfall, if they are right.

Zen you don't have to restrict methionine, taking glycine in the right amounts over rides
the effect of excess methionine.
In fact in test tubes glycine will revert 70 year old human cells back to youth.

Of course there is a study where glycine will feed cancer cells, then another that says
its not glycine but serine, but then it you take more glycine it can be converted to serine.

With UC we have a lot of collagen in the colon, also I think called extracellular matrix, or it is
made up with a lot of collagen. Anyhow this gets degraded in UC with protease enzymes.
That is one of the reasons I posted on glycine,perhaps we have a big shortfall that
cant keep up, unless we supplement.

Yes, it would seem so.
But perhaps difficult to tell actually how much glycine you are getting.
Easier to just eat gelatin or glycine powder,or collagen,that way you know your dose.
Of course as with anything else too much can cause some gut pain.
In the schizophrenia trials with glycine those people believe it or not 40-60 grams of glycine a day.

I consider myself fairly scientific savvy but had a really hard time trying to read just the abstract of this paper.

i drink bone broth that I make myself, on the rare occasion that we actually have something with bones lying around. I'd like to think it's healthy. If anything, it probably isn't doing me any harm and it sure tastes good!
