Glycine is an amino acid that is naturally occurring in the human body. It is the simplest amino acid and is involved in a variety of metabolic processes, making it an important nutrient for overall health.

Note, Siim Land is one of the leading communicators on the importance of Glycine, we've included his video below for ease of understanding. He is not affiliated with Foundry Industries.

Glycine for Sleep

Glycine has been shown to improve sleep quality by reducing the time it takes to fall asleep, increasing the amount of deep sleep, and improving overall sleep satisfaction. It does this by acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, which helps to calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.

Glycine for Inflammation

Inflammation is a natural response of the body to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to a range of health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. Glycine has been shown to reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Glycine for Skin

Glycine is a key component of collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the body and provides structure to the skin, bones, and connective tissue. By supporting the production of collagen, glycine helps to keep the skin firm and elastic, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Glycine for Cognitive function

Glycine is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, including serotonin, which plays a key role in regulating mood, appetite, and sleep. It also acts as a co-agonist with glutamate, an important neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory.

Glycine for Liver Health

The liver is responsible for detoxifying the body and removing harmful substances, including alcohol and drugs. Glycine has been shown to support liver health by supporting the production of glutathione and is a rate limiting building block. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect liver cells from damage.

Glycine for muscle recovery

Glycine is involved in the synthesis of creatine, a compound that provides energy to the muscles during exercise. It also helps to support muscle growth and repair by increasing the production of collagen and other proteins that are essential for muscle tissue.

Recommended Use

Following the body demand guidelines outlined by Siim Land in the video above, we generally recommend at least 10g daily to meet minimal physiological demand.
