NOW Foods Glycine 1000 mg 100 Capsules - Pharmaceutical Grade Amino Acid

What is glycine?

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that the human body produces naturally. It is the smallest amino acid and a fundamental part of many proteins, including collagen. Glycine also acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

This NOW Foods supplement offers glycine in its pure pharmaceutical form, with a dose of 1000 mg per capsule. Each container holds 100 capsules, ideal for daily use.

Benefits of glycine

Glycine contributes to the normal formation of proteins in the body. As a component of collagen, it is important for the health of skin, bones, and joints. Additionally, it participates in the production of creatine, a key substance for muscle performance.

As a neurotransmitter amino acid, glycine is involved in regulating the nervous system. Some studies suggest it may promote relaxation and sleep quality, although these claims are not approved by the EFSA.

Glycine-based food supplements should be used as part of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
