NOW® Glycine — Calming Neurotransmitter & Sleep Support
Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, where it plays a critical role in facilitating nerve impulse regulation and supporting a calm state. As a versatile metabolic building block, this pharmaceutical-grade, free-form amino acid is essential for the endogenous synthesis of glutathione, creatine and cellular proteins. By modulating neurochemical pathways, glycine assists in maintaining healthy sleep architecture and promoting deeper, more restful sleep phases.
Glycine is the smallest and simplest amino acid, making it versatile for use in a wide range of functions. Glycine is necessary to produce glutathione, DNA, creatine, bile, haemoglobin and most proteins. It also helps to promote glycogen storage, thereby making glucose readily available for energy production. Glycine also functions as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain, where it facilitates nerve impulses and is important for the maintenance of healthy sleep patterns.
