100 vegan caps containing 1000 mg of glycine.
GLYCINE 1000MG
Glycine supplementation may:
• Support healthy sleep
• Promote relaxation without causing daytime drowsiness
• Aid in detoxification of toxic substances
• Support healthy glucose and fructose metabolism
• Support connective tissue throughout the body
Quality sleep allows us to truly care for our bodies and provides numerous benefits. Glycine may support healthy sleep and relaxation, and clinical research has shown it has a calming effect on the brain.
Life Extension offers a 1000 mg dose of glycine, providing the maximum benefits this essential amino acid can offer.
Glycine is the simplest and most abundant amino acid in your body, delivering a wide range of benefits. It helps maintain healthy central nervous system function and promotes relaxation and normal muscle function.
Most glycine in the body is incorporated into proteins, but free glycine acts as a neurotransmitter involved in regulating appetite, behavior, and overall homeostasis.
This amino acid plays a key role in supporting:
• Healthy gene expression
• Cellular antioxidant processes and regulated oxidative stress
• Immune system function
• Growth, development, and survival
• Detoxification—by binding to toxic substances and converting them into harmless forms that are easily excreted
Research shows that when taken before bedtime, this amino acid can promote healthy, quality sleep without causing daytime drowsiness.
In addition to supporting growth, glycine may have a calming effect on the brain and positively influence attention, cognition, memory, mood, and mental health.
Glycine has also been shown to inhibit protein glycation and the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
Evidence from laboratory and clinical trials suggests glycine may help support healthy glucose and fructose metabolism.
Research also indicates that glycine may help maintain normal blood pressure. One study involving over 4,000 participants found that higher glycine levels correlated with cardiovascular protection and better metabolic health.
Furthermore, glycine has been shown to support the health of the gastric and intestinal mucosa. Like other one-carbon molecules, glycine has been associated with longevity.
For optimal benefits, the recommended adult intake is one (1) to three (3) grams of glycine. Studies even support the safe use of higher doses.
However, most glycine products are only available in 500 mg capsules, making them costly. Therefore, Life Extension provides glycine supplements in easy-to-swallow 1000 mg capsules.
Note: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
