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.
