Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that is used in the body as a structural component of proteins. Glycine is also one of the three proteinogenic amino acids (the others being alanine and serine) that are coded directly into genetic codons in eukaryotes.* Glycine supplements can be synthesized in the human body under normal physiological conditions, but this process requires vitamin B6 and magnesium. In addition, Glycine is not considered essential in humans because it can be synthesized by humans from the amino acids serine and threonine. Glycine, a sleep supplement, is found in high amounts in gelatin, collagen, casein, soy protein and wheat protein. It is also found naturally occurring in many foods such as beef, poultry, pork and fish. Glycine is an amino acid that acts as a precursor for the synthesis of proteins and may act as an antioxidant.* It plays a role in the maintenance of normal skin, connective tissue and joint function.* Glycine also supports healthy liver function and helps to maintain proper homocysteine levels in conjunction with diet and exercise.* Glycine Powder is most commonly taken as a supplement alongside creatine and it's a precursor to the synthesis of creatine, which helps to build muscle and aid in cell repair.* Glycine, a sleep powder, may also have calming effect that may promote healthy sleep and contribute to healthy mood and an overall sense of well-being.* Lastly, Glycine, an amino acid supplement, may support liver function by aiding in the removal of harmful substances from the body.* This glycine powder does not contain any filler and additives.
