Glycine 1000 mg – 100 vegetable capsules

Glycine is an amino acid with many important functions in the body, both as a building block in proteins and as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Life Extension Glycine is supplied in high-dose 1000 mg capsules that make it easy to achieve the documented health effects. Glycine is particularly known for its ability to promote deep and natural sleep, contribute to normal collagen production, as well as support the antioxidant defense through its role in glutathione synthesis. The product is gluten-free, non-GMO and 100% vegetable.

Health effects
Glycine has a number of well-documented functions in the body:

• Promotes sleep and relaxation: Clinical studies show that glycine can contribute to better sleep quality, falling asleep faster and less fatigue during the day.

• Contributes to normal collagen production: Glycine is the most central amino acid in collagen and is necessary for normal function in skin, connective tissue, joints and muscles.

• Surprising effect - support for the metabolism: Research suggests that glycine can help maintain normal blood sugar balance and support a healthy metabolism, including by inhibiting advanced glycation products (AGEs).
