Glycine: Sport & Physical Activity

The Very Natura laboratory offers in its Acamino range a food supplement based on 100% pure glycine powder. Glycine is a semi-essential amino acid. 

Like other amino acids such as arginine, cysteine ​​and even glutamine, it can be synthesized by humans. The human body synthesizes glycine primarily from serine, but glycine production in the body inevitably declines with age. 

It is involved in numerous physiological and metabolic reactions. 

It is particularly involved in the synthesis of certain proteins such as elastin, glutathione, creatine, collagen, muscle fibers or the nitrogen bases of DNA. 

Glycine plays a role in creatine metabolism and is therefore involved in muscle regeneration. 

It has a positive effect on antioxidant enzymes and helps slow down cellular aging. Since glycine is involved in the synthesis of bile acids, we will focus on the detoxifying effect of glycine on the liver. 

It also acts in the brain, acting as a calming neurotransmitter and promoting sleep. 

Glycine functions as a neurotransmitter and acts as an inhibitor in the spinal cord.    Dosage: 1 to 3 measuring spoons per day Packaging: 250 grams per pot What are the benefits of glycine-based food supplements? Glycine-based dietary supplements are often taken to benefit from the potential benefits of this substance. 

Here are some of the benefits commonly associated with these supplements: 1.Helps support sleep and relaxation: Glycine is known for its relaxing effect on the nervous system. 

It can help reduce anxiety, promote better sleep, and improve muscle relaxation. 

Some people take glycine supplements to help with insomnia and sleep problems.   2. 

Helps support the nervous system: Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays an important role in the transmission of nerve signals. 

It can help balance nervous system activity, improve concentration and promote optimal cognitive function.   3. 

Helps support mental health: Preliminary studies suggest that glycine may have a beneficial effect on mental health. 

It can help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. 4. 

Helps support muscle health: Glycine is involved in protein synthesis, which may promote muscle growth and repair. 

It can also help reduce muscle breakdown during intense exercise. 

Glycine supplements are sometimes used by athletes to support athletic performance and muscle recovery.   5. 

Helps support gut health: Glycine may help support gut health by promoting regeneration of the intestinal lining and improving the integrity of the intestinal wall. 

This may be beneficial for people with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or intestinal permeability. It is important to note that glycine supplements may not be suitable for everyone, and it is recommended that you consult a healthcare professional before using them, particularly if you have any underlying health conditions. or if you are taking other medicines.
