Glycine 500 mg, 60 capsules

GLYCINE 500 mg – supports your evening routine, collagen, and daily recovery

Glycine is an amino acid naturally present in the body and one of the key components of proteins, including collagen—the primary protein of connective tissue, which includes bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and teeth.

GLYCINE 500 mg is a simple, versatile supplement for people who want to supplement their diet with this amino acid and maintain a daily routine that supports the body — especially in the evening, after a busy day, during periods of increased stress, or when leading an active lifestyle.

What sets this product apart?

• Supports amino acid supply: Glycine is a component of many proteins in the body, including collagen.
• A good choice for your evening routine: It works well as part of a calming bedtime ritual and rest.
• For active individuals: it can be part of the daily supplementation regimen for those focused on recovery, muscle health, and proper nutrient intake.
• Supports the body’s balance: glycine plays a role in processes involving glutathione, creatine, and bile acids.
• Simple formulation: a convenient 500 mg serving of glycine without unnecessary additives.
• Versatile use: suitable for both physically active individuals and those who want to supplement their daily diet with an amino acid found in natural protein sources.

Glycine is an endogenous amino acid, which means the body can synthesize it. It can also be obtained through the diet—primarily from foods rich in protein and collagen. Its presence in the diet is important for many natural processes occurring in the body.

Natural Sources of Glycine

1. Meat and poultry: Glycine is found in meat, particularly in parts rich in connective tissue, such as skin, cartilage, and collagenous components.
2. Fish and seafood: Sources of glycine include fish, seafood, and products containing structural proteins.
3. Bone broth: Traditional bone broth, made from bones and connective tissues, is a natural source of collagenous amino acids, including glycine.
4. Dairy products: Milk, yogurt, and cheese provide protein, and along with it, certain amounts of glycine.
5. Legumes: Soybeans, beans, and other legumes can supplement the diet with amino acids, even in a plant-based diet.
6. Green leafy vegetables: Spinach and kale provide small amounts of glycine as part of a varied diet.

Glycine in Research

Glycine supplementation is examined in the scientific literature across various fields, including sleep, nervous system function, oxidative stress, physical activity, and processes related to the body’s recovery.

1. Nighttime rest: Studies have examined the relationship between glycine intake and selected sleep parameters and the quality of nighttime rest.
2. Nervous system: Glycine is described as one of the compounds involved in neurotransmission and processes related to nervous system function.
3. Antioxidant balance: The literature discusses glycine’s role in processes related to glutathione, one of the body’s key antioxidant compounds.
4. Physical activity: Glycine is also being studied in the context of exercise, muscle metabolism, and post-workout routines for active individuals.

What processes does glycine participate in?

1. Protein synthesis: Glycine is a component of structural proteins, including collagen.
2. Neurotransmission: It acts as one of the neurotransmitters in the central nervous system.
3. Glutathione synthesis: It is one of the amino acids used in glutathione-related processes.
4. Creatine synthesis: It participates in pathways related to creatine formation.
5. Bile acid conjugation: It is involved in processes related to bile acids, which are essential for fat digestion.
