Glycine is the simplest amino acid, yet it plays a major role in many essential biological processes. It is classified as a non-essential amino acid, meaning the body can produce it on its own. However, in certain situations – such as stress, illness, or intense physical effort – external intake (from supplements or food) can be important.

Glycine offers several key benefits for the body:

1. Improves sleep and relaxes the nervous system. Glycine helps lower body temperature before sleep and stimulates the release of serotonin, a precursor of melatonin – the sleep hormone. It is useful in cases of insomnia, stress, anxiety, and mental exhaustion.

2. Supports brain function and mental clarity. As a neurotransmitter, glycine regulates nerve impulses and has a calming effect on the nervous system.

3. Joint health and collagen production. Glycine is a major component of collagen – the structural protein that forms skin, hair, nails, cartilage, joints, blood vessels, tendons, muscles, and bones. It helps regenerate tissues, may reduce joint pain, supports mobility, and maintains healthy, elastic skin while slowing down skin aging.

4. Detoxification and liver protection. Glycine is involved in the synthesis of glutathione, one of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidants. This helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports the liver’s detoxification processes.

5. Cardiovascular support. Glycine has vasodilating effects, improves blood circulation, and may help reduce blood pressure.

6. Supports muscle mass and performance. Glycine plays a role in creatine synthesis, which is essential for muscle energy. It helps with muscle recovery after exertion, reduces fatigue, and supports physical performance during workouts or dieting.
