Glycine 1000 mg from Life Extension is an amino acid supplement with 1000 mg of pure glycine per capsule. Glycine, also known as aminoacetic acid, is the smallest and simplest amino acid. It occurs naturally in the human body and in various protein-rich foods. With this formula, Life Extension offers a simple way to supplement your daily diet with glycine.
What is glycine?
Glycine is an amino acid that the body can make itself, but which is also obtained through food. It is therefore often described as a non-essential or conditionally essential amino acid. This means that the body can produce glycine under normal circumstances, but that in certain situations its own production may not fully meet its needs.
Glycine is a natural building block of proteins and is particularly abundant in collagen. It is also one of the twenty amino acids the body uses to build proteins.
Pure formula with 1000 mg of glycine
This formula contains 1000 mg of glycine per capsule. The supplement therefore provides a relatively high dose in a single capsule, with no other amino acids added to the formula. The capsules are made from plant-based cellulose and contain only ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C) as an excipient alongside glycine. The formula is therefore suitable for vegetarians and contains a limited number of ingredients.
