Description

Natural Factors Glycine is a source of a non-essential amino acid involved in muscle protein synthesis. It can be taken on its own or with other amino acids for complementary support.

 

Glycine is one of the most predominant amino acids in the body, with significant concentrations found in the muscles, skin, and connective tissues. It plays a crucial role in many physiological processes that affect our well-being. Although the body can synthesize some glycine from the amino acid serine, consuming it directly contributes to maintaining healthy levels.

 

Glycine is found in various high-protein foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and certain plant-based foods, but is most effective when taken as a free-form amino acid. Supplementing with glycine can be especially beneficial during times of increased physical stress, when collagen fibres in the muscles and ligaments undergo damage. It is also a suitable supplement for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone who is highly active.

 

Glycine is a vegan-friendly source of this free-form amino acid made through a natural fermentation process. It is non-GMO and taken as two 500 mg vegetarian capsules per day, offering a daily dose of 1000 mg of glycine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Natural Factors, and is it a trustworthy supplement brand?

Natural Factors is a Canadian-owned supplement manufacturer founded in 1948 and headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia. One of North America's largest supplement makers, it operates over 1,000 acres of certified organic farmland in BC's Okanagan Valley and manufactures in-house at Health Canada-licensed, FDA-inspected facilities. Every product is third-party tested through ISURA for over 800 contaminants including pesticides and heavy metals. Natural Factors is also B Corp certified, meeting rigorous environmental and social standards.

What is Natural Factors and is it a reliable Canadian supplement brand?

Natural Factors is one of Canada's largest supplement manufacturers, founded in 1955 by Jack and Rona Katz in British Columbia and still 100% Canadian family-owned. The company controls every production stage from raw material sourcing to finished product. Its facility holds TGA certification from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration, one of the world's strictest supplement manufacturing standards. All products are ISURA certified — independently tested for 800+ contaminants including pesticides and heavy metals — and Natural Factors conducts four rounds of product testing, double the industry average of two.

What sets Natural Factors apart from other supplement brands?

Natural Factors' most distinctive quality is vertical integration: the company grows its own raw herbs on 1,000+ acres of certified organic farmland in BC's Okanagan Valley, then processes and manufactures in-house. Most supplement brands source raw materials from external suppliers with no direct agricultural control. Natural Factors also uses ISURA third-party testing, a Canadian standard that screens for over 800 contaminants, well beyond typical heavy-metal panels. B Corp certification further reflects a documented commitment to environmental and social accountability, not just a marketing claim.

What makes Natural Factors different from other Canadian supplement manufacturers?

Natural Factors holds TGA certification from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration — one of the world's most rigorous pharmaceutical manufacturing standards, rarely earned by Canadian brands and far exceeding most North American certification requirements. Its ISURA testing program screens every product for 800+ contaminants, and it conducts four rounds of quality testing per product versus the industry standard of two. The company also operates its own farm in the Okanagan Valley for select botanical ingredients — a level of vertical integration uncommon among supplement manufacturers — and has been family-owned for over 70 years.
