Glycine Powder

What is Glycine?

Glycine is an amino acid found in proteins, most abundantly in collagen, and has many biochemical functions. Glycine plays a major role in liver detoxification, cell repair, and the production of glutathione, DNA, and hemoglobin. It aids in collagen, cartilage, and antioxidant production, supports muscle repair, joint comfort, and nerve health, and promotes deep, restful sleep.

Glycine has a sweet taste and can be used to sweeten drinks or powdered supplements without altering blood glucose levels.

 What are the Suggested Uses for Glycine?

• Joint and cartilage repair, comfort, and protection - glycine’s anti-inflammatory properties, along with its structural role in cartilage, bone, and muscle make this a great supplement for joint support. 
• Healthy neurological function - as a neurotransmitter that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, glycine participates in both calming and excitatory pathways in the brain and central nervous system.
• Restful sleep - glycine provides an important component for healthy REM and delta sleep patterns and promotes a healthy circadian rhythm.
• Use to sweeten drinks or powdered supplements without altering blood glucose levels.
