Glycine 120 Capsules

Glycine is a safe non-addictive and effective herbal extract that helps with insomnia and improves the quality of sleep without the “morning hangover” effect associated with prescription or over-the-counter sleep medication. While you sleep this amino acid assists your body and performs many important functions. For Sleep Support

Glycine is the smallest and simplest amino acid, making it versatile for use in a wide range of functions. Essential for much different muscle, cognitive and metabolic functions. Glycine is necessary for the production of glutathione, collagen, DNA, creatine, bile, haemoglobin, and most proteins. It helps break down and transport nutrients like glycogen and fat to be used by cells for energy, and in the process, it supports strong, digestive, and nervous systems. It functions as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain, where it facilitates nerve impulses and is important for the maintenance of healthy sleep patterns.

Benefits
Works as a protein builder in the body and enables the production of collagen.
Aids in digestion, specifically in the breakdown of fatty acids in foods and helps maintain the levels of acidity in the digestive tract.

This amino acid helps to regulate blood sugar levels and move blood sugar to cells and tissues throughout the body, to be consumed as energy.
Helps to regulate the body’s immune response, limit unhealthful inflammation, and spur healing. Supplemental doses of glycine may help strengthen bones and joints and may help prevent arthritis.

As a neurotransmitter, glycine both stimulates and inhibits cells in the brain and central nervous system, affecting cognition, mood, appetite and digestion, immune function, pain perception, and sleep. Glycine helps the body make serotonin, a hormone, and neurotransmitter that has significant effects on sleep and mood.
Glycine works to support immune health and keep inflammation in check, offering protection to cardiovascular function. Glycine plays an important role in healthy metabolism. Low levels of glycine are linked to a greater risk for the development of type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, higher glycine levels are associated with a lower risk for this metabolic disorder.
