Glycine

                                   
 

The main functions of glycine can be summarized as follows:

Sedative and calming: As a neurotransmitter, it significantly improves sleep quality, which is its most prominent application. Foundation: As the core component of collagen, it supports the health of skin, bones, and connective tissues. Defense and protection: As the precursor of glutathione, it provides essential antioxidant and detoxification capabilities, and directly protects brain neurons. Aid digestion: It participates in the synthesis of bile acids and gastric acid, supporting normal digestive functions.

Glycine is also a widely recognized food additive. It can be used as a flavoring agent and can partially replace sucrose in some low-sugar foods to provide sweetness; Glycine can also improve the palatability of feed, increase the feed intake of animals, and can supplement the amino acids needed for animal growth and production, promoting animal growth and development.
