L-Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that plays several important roles in the body. Here are its key benefits:

1. Supports Muscle Growth and Repair

  • Protein Synthesis: Glycine is involved in the creation of proteins, essential for muscle repair and growth.
  • Collagen Production: It’s a major component of collagen, which supports connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and skin—crucial for athletes and active individuals.
  • Anti-inflammatory Effects: Helps reduce muscle inflammation and promotes faster recovery after intense workouts.
  • Creatine Production: Aids in the synthesis of creatine, improving strength, power, and performance in high-intensity sports.
  • Calming Neurotransmitter: Acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, promoting relaxation and better sleep.
  • Regulates Body Temperature: Helps lower core body temperature, facilitating deeper, more restful sleep.
  • Glucose Regulation: Plays a role in blood sugar control, improving insulin sensitivity.
  • Fat Metabolism: Involved in the breakdown of fats, aiding in energy production.
  • Neuroprotection: Supports cognitive function by protecting against neurodegeneration and reducing oxidative stress.
  • Mood Regulation: Its calming effect on the brain can help with stress, anxiety, and mental clarity.
  • Digestive Support: Promotes a healthy gut lining, reducing inflammation and supporting digestion.
  • Immune System: Enhances immune response by supporting the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.
  • Cartilage Maintenance: Essential for maintaining healthy joints due to its role in collagen synthesis.
  • Bone Strength: Works synergistically with other amino acids to support bone density.

Common Sources of Glycine:

  • Animal products: Meat, fish, poultry, gelatin, and bone broth
  • Plant-based sources: Legumes, spinach, kale, cabbage, and fruits like bananas and kiwis
  • Supplements: Available as powders, capsules, or part of collagen peptides

Dosage and Safety:

  • Typical Dosage: 3–5 grams per day for general health; up to 10 grams for specific therapeutic purposes (consult a healthcare provider).
  • Safety: Generally well-tolerated. High doses may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals.
