Bios Glycine 500 mg capsules, 100 ST

Bios Glycine 500 mg capsules are a food supplement containing the non-essential amino acid glycine.

Glycine is the smallest and simplest naturally occurring amino acid and has numerous functions. For example, glycine acts as a calming neurotransmitter, reducing the transmission of nerve impulses and minimising the onset of restlessness and anxiety within the body. Glycine, taken before bedtime, can therefore also improve the quality of sleep. Together with glutamic acid and cysteine, glycine is an essential component of glutathione, which plays a vital role in neutralising free radicals. Glycine forms the essential basis for the formation of collagen, an important structural protein for tendons, ligaments, bones and cartilage. In the skin, collagen is a key component of connective tissue – after all, 70 per cent of the skin consists of this protein.

Glycine supports muscle recovery after exercise and acts as a reservoir for the formation of non-essential amino acids. Furthermore, this small amino acid is involved in the formation of purines in DNA and RNA and in haemoglobin metabolism, and thus plays a key role in the transport of oxygen in the blood.
