Product details

The amino acid glycine plays a key role in maintaining a healthy central nervous system (CNS). It is considered one of the most important inhibitory neurotransmitters in the CNS, particularly in the brainstem and spinal cord.*Studies show glycine can help improve memory retrieval in individuals with a wide variety of sleep-depriving conditions, such as jet lag and overwork. The benefits of glycine are not just limited to the CNS. Glycine also plays a key role in phase II liver detoxification by having a direct effect on toxin elimination or by increasing the level of glutathione. Glycine also helps modulate cytokines associated with obesity.

Glycine is one of three amino acids needed to produce creatine, which in turn supplies energy to muscle and nerve cells. The other two amino acids are arginine and methionine. High concentrations of glycine are found in the muscles, the skin, and other connective tissues. Approximately 30 percent of collagen is composed of glycine.

Glycine plays an important role in supporting a healthy digestive system by helping to regulate the synthesis of bile acid, which the body uses to digest fats. Glycine also plays a role in regulating the utilization of glucose during energy production.

Gut health is crucial for overall well-being as it affects every different bodily systems and processes. The gut, also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. The gut is also home to a diverse community of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome, which play an important role in maintaining health. A healthy gut is essential for maintaining a strong immune system, as it helps to protect the body from harmful pathogens and infection. The gut also plays a role in regulating mood and mental health, as it produces and regulates the release of important neurotransmitters such as serotonin. A healthy gut is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight, as it helps to regulate appetite and metabolism. The gut also plays a role in the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, which is important for maintaining optimal energy levels and overall health.

However, an unhealthy gut can lead to a variety of problems, including digestive disorders, chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and mental health issues.

I appreciate how they treat me like a person, not just a number. Their personalized service is unmatched—especially in today's world, where it feels like customer service is hard to come by. The convenience of their local location and the ability to get same-day prescriptions is also a huge plus for me.
