Medications like Mounjaro and Zepbound are designed to go into the fatty tissue just under the skin, not deep into muscle like insulin sometimes does
Cysteine and glycine were added to the meals of older subjects in order to raise glutathione levels, which jumped after two weeks, resulting in improved insulin resistance and fat burning
