Gall Pharma Glycine Powder is a food supplement containing the amino acid glycine. The amino acid promotes cartilage formation in the joints, supports the immune system and regulates blood sugar levels.
Glycine is one of the non-essential amino acids. It is the smallest naturally occurring amino acid. Due to its simple structure, there is no D and L form. It is not only a building block of proteins, but is also required in numerous biosynthesis processes (formation of creatine, porphyrins, purines, etc.). Among other things, it supplies the nitrogen required to build up non-essential amino acids. Glycine is of great importance for protein formation, especially in the body's anabolic phases. Glycine is contained in collagens. In its free form, it is widely found in plant foods.
Glycine is the smallest and simplest naturally occurring amino acid and has numerous functions. For example, glycine acts as a calming neurotransmitter that reduces the transmission of nerve impulses and minimises the development of restlessness and anxiety in 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 key role in the neutralisation of radical substances. Glycine forms the indispensable basis for the formation of collagen, an important structural protein for tendons, ligaments, bones and cartilage. In the skin, collagen is an important building block for connective tissue - after all, 70% of it is made up of this protein. As glycine is 100% vegan in origin, this amino acid is suitable as an alternative to conventional collagen products. Glycine is naturally sweet without triggering the release of insulin and can therefore be used as a natural sugar substitute. Glycine supports muscle regeneration after training and serves as a reservoir for the formation of non-essential amino acids. Furthermore, this small amino acid is involved in the purine formation of DNA and RNA and in haemoglobin metabolism and therefore plays a significant role in the transport of oxygen in the blood.
