Important amino acid for muscle protein synthesis. This product from Designs for Health provides glycine in a pure powder form, allowing for dosage tailored to each individual. Glycine is a semi-essential amino acid required for structural protein synthesis, detoxification pathways, and neurotransmitter function. It is the smallest amino acid, with a single hydrogen side chain. Although glycine is synthesized from serine in the human body, endogenous synthesis has been shown to fall far short of meeting the demands of the many biological and metabolic factors for a healthy adult. In addition, the need for glycine may be even greater during times of acute emotional or physiological stress, as well as in individuals recovering from physical trauma.
Adults: Take 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) daily or as directed by your healthcare professional. Mix well in 1 to 2 cups of liquid (water, juice, etc.) immediately before use. Take 2 hours apart from medication, as medication effectiveness may be impaired. It is important to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after exercise.
