What’s Glycine?

Glycine is the simplest amino acid and one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in proteins. It is non-essential, meaning that the body can synthesize it and does not need to obtain it solely from dietary sources. Glycine is represented by the symbol “Gly” and has the chemical formula “C2H5NO2”.

What’s the main function of Glycine?

As an amino acid, glycine contributes to cellular growth and health, Glycine may help the body in multiple ways, including the following:
1) Decreases Oxidative Stress
2) Improves Brain and Muscle Performance
3) Glycine also provides the brain energy
4) Aids in Diabetes Management and Prevention
5)Decreases Risk of Heart Attack
6) Protects Liver from Alcohol Damage
7) Improves Sleep Quality

How does the Glycine work?

1)Glycine is one of the amino acids essential to the body’s synthesis of the antioxidant glutathione. Cells produce glutathione in order to fight free radicals that can otherwise cause oxidative stress and damage cells, proteins, and DNA.
2) Glycine plays a role in the synthesis of creatine as well, another amino acid that can also be consumed independently. Creatine is a popular supplement for athletes because it provides muscles with the energy needed for short bursts of strength and speed.
3) Glycine supplements stimulate a gut hormone that increases the ability of insulin to remove glucose from the bloodstream.
4) In addition to being linked to lower blood pressure and risk of obesity, glycine supplements may help reduce the risk of a heart attack. In a study of over 4000 people with chest pains, higher levels of glycine in the blood were linked to a lower chance of heart attack.

How to use Glycine?

1) Promote the healing of overworked or damaged muscles.
2) Soothe an upset stomach.
3) Promote calm and relaxation.
4) Boost the immune system.
5) Increase human growth hormone.

What is the main source of geting Glycine raw material?

The raw material sources for glycine depend on the method of production, which can be derived from natural sources or synthesized chemically.

1) Chemical Synthesis – Chloroacetic Acid and Ammonia

One of the most common methods for synthesizing glycine industrially involves reacting chloroacetic acid with ammonia. This chemical process produces glycine as the main product.

2) Biotechnological Production – Fermentation

Glycine can also be produced through microbial fermentation, where genetically modified microorganisms are used to convert substrates like sugars into glycine. This method is more common for specialized applications or where non-animal-derived glycine is needed.
