Glycine's Broad Biological Roles
- Glycine is the smallest amino acid and supports heart health, inflammation control, and glucose metabolism.
- It acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, promoting calmness and deeper sleep.
Antioxidant And Structural Benefits
- Glycine boosts glutathione production, lowering oxidative stress and supporting cellular repair.
- It also protects muscle from stress and supports collagen for skin and joint health.
Glycine As A Molecular Chaperone
- Glycine functions as a molecular chaperone, helping protein recycling and proteostasis.
- This chaperone role and reduced glycation resistance contribute to healthier aging.
