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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycine 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDirections\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1-3 capsules daily, preferably on an empty stomach or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eComposition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eActive Ingredients (Serving size: 1 Capsule)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmount per serving\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlycine (Free-Form)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 g (3,000 mg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOther Ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHypromellose (cellulose capsule), Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Stearic Acid (vegetable source) and Silicon Dioxide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes Not Contain\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStorage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool dry place (\u0026lt;25°C), away from sunlight.
