Chronic Inflammation Linked to Glycine Deficiency in Immune Cells
Dr Eric Berg
The Best Anti-Aging Advice I Wish I Knew
"When the macrophage dies, it releases glycine to turn off the inflammatory switch. But if there's not enough glycine in the macrophage, there's nothing that turns off the inflammation. And then they end up on medications when they don't know deeper underneath the hood they need more glycine."
The speaker reveals that macrophages, frontline immune cells, require glycine to release anti-inflammatory signals when they die. Without adequate glycine, inflammation remains uncontrolled, leading patients to unnecessary medications while the underlying nutrient deficiency goes unrecognized.
