Glycine Powder

Glycine belongs to the Amino acids, the building blocks from which proteins are made. It is the simplest of all amino acids, is highly soluble and has a slightly sweet taste. The human body can produce glycine itself, which is why it is classified as a non-essential amino acid. Nevertheless, glycine is also obtained through food, as it is abundant in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and legumes, in particular, it is a main component of collagen. In addition to its role in protein synthesis, glycine is involved in other processes in the organism.

Glycine fulfills a number of different functions at the cellular and molecular level in the body. As an amino acid, it is a fundamental building block of many proteins, especially it makes its unique structure consists of a large part of collagen, an important structural protein in connective tissue. In the nervous system, glycine acts as a neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of certain inhibitory signals. Furthermore, glycine serves as Precursor molecule for the synthesis of other biologically important compounds such as creatine and glutathione (an important antioxidant of the body).
