Glycine powder is ideal for this purpose. \u003cstrong\u003eGlycine is not only the smallest (and finest ;-) amino acid, it also tastes pleasantly sweet.\u003c\/strong\u003e This makes it exceptionally easy to take, unlike almost any other amino acid. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycine is primarily needed in the body to form collagen or collagenous proteins. It is the most abundant protein in the body, the fundamental substance of connective tissue and thus an important component of bones, teeth, skin, joints, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Glycine is incorporated so frequently because it – as the smallest amino acid – enables the typical twists of collagen strands. Without glycine this would not be possible.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, many further effects of glycine have been described. For example, glycine functions in the nervous system as an inhibitory neurotransmitter by binding to the glycine receptor of the same name. Glycine also appears to have a positive influence on muscle anabolism, it is the starting material for the formation of important iron-containing proteins (e.g. haemoglobin) and it is a component of glutathione (antioxidant).

This suggests that glycine treatment can reverse age-related mitochondrial defects in older human fibroblasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycine also appears to be very important because modern diet is increasingly depleted of it. Even just a few decades ago, people consumed significantly more glycine through food gelatine. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20093739\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20093739\/\"\u003eA biochemical calculation\u003c\/a\u003e suggests that modern people with average diet are missing approximately 5 g of glycine per day.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA detailed assessment of all possible glycine sources shows, (…) that the daily dose available from synthesis of approximately 3 g\/day together with the amount available from diet of 1.5–3.0 g\/day in a 70 kg person can fall significantly below the amount needed for all metabolic purposes, including collagen synthesis, of approximately 10 g\/day.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlycine Powder from the PURE Range\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all products in our PURE range, our glycine powder contains only what it says on the tin: glycine in vegan form.
