Glycine Powder

Pure free-form glycine, 3 g per scoop, in a lightly sweet powder that supports collagen, restful sleep and the body's detox pathways.

What it is

A single-ingredient powder: 3 grams of free-form glycine per scoop, with nothing else added. Glycine is a small amino acid the body uses in many places at once. It is the main structural component of collagen, it feeds detoxification pathways and antioxidant status, and it acts as a neurotransmitter in its own right. Free-form means the amino acid on its own, not bound up in a protein, and the powder makes a gram-level dose easy to take.

Who it's for

For a child or adult whose practitioner wants glycine at gram-level doses, and who would rather stir a powder into a drink than swallow several capsules. Glycine supports protein and collagen synthesis (skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels), the liver's natural detoxification pathways, restful sleep, memory and healthy blood sugar metabolism. The product copy also links it to normal tissue repair and to the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Format and how to take

A slightly sweet powder that mixes well with water or any other drink. The label's recommended use: take 3 grams (approximately one scoop) with water or any other beverage per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner. The label gives no separate children's dose; ask your practitioner about use for children. Store at room temperature.
