Glycine GPH Powder

Glycine is the smallest and simplest naturally occurring amino acid and has numerous functions. For example, glycine acts as a calming neurotransmitter that reduces the transmission of nerve impulses and minimises the development of restlessness, overstimulation and anxiety in the body. Glycine, taken before bedtime, can therefore also improve the quality of sleep. Together with glutamic acid and cysteine, glycine is an essential component of glutathione, which plays a key role in the neutralisation of radical substances. Glycine forms the indispensable basis for the formation of collagen, an important structural protein for tendons, ligaments, bones and cartilage. In the skin, collagen is an important component of connective tissue – after all, 70% of it is made up of this protein. As glycine is 100% vegan in origin, this amino acid is suitable as an alternative to conventional collagen products. Glycine is naturally sweet without inducing insulin release and can therefore be used as a natural sugar substitute. Glycine supports the regeneration of muscles after training and serves as a reservoir for the formation of non-essential amino acids. Furthermore, this small amino acid is involved in the purine formation of DNA and RNA and in haemoglobin metabolism and therefore contributes significantly to the transport of oxygen in the blood.
