Glycine

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that serves as a building block for proteins and plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. It's the simplest amino acid structurally and functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

Beyond its role in protein synthesis, glycine is involved in the production of important molecules like creatine, glutathione, heme, and bile salts. It also supports healthy sleep, cognitive function, and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
