Glycine: cell protector and joint saver

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, which occurs naturally in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish and dairy products. It is regarded as the simplest amino acid in the human organism and is directly connected to the formation of proteins.

What benefits does glycine have?

As a component of the creatine metabolism, glycine is able to support the build-up and regeneration of the musculature. The amino acid is often consumed before exercising to prevent muscle loss and to support the muscle building process. It is also able to control the build-up of tendons, the connective tissue, the skin, the bones and the teeth.

However, glycine is not only suitable for strength athletes. It is used for endurance sports as well. Studies prove that glycine is able to increase the resorption of glucose, which is especially important before a sport contest or for a carbohydrate-rich diet.

Important for every athlete

Glycine is able to promote a healthy sleep. When taken in the evening, the amino acid inhibits signals in the central nervous system during sleep. Therefore, it has a calming effect and it supports the entire recovery process.

Glycine is part of the haemoglobin metabolism

It plays an important role during the synthesis of haem, the ferrous pigment of the red blood cells, which serves the oxygen binding.
Furthermore, glycine is a component of collagen and essential for the skin formation, hair formation and the build-up of cartilages, especially the articular cartilages.
