Pure glycin powder

Glycine – functional amino acid with natural sweetness

Glycine is the smallest proteinogenic amino acid—and also one of the most versatile. As a functional compound, it performs numerous functions in the body. What sets glycine apart from other amino acids is its naturally pleasantly sweet taste, making it an ideal alternative to sugar—for example, for sweetening tea, coffee, or other beverages. This makes daily intake particularly convenient.

With the glycine powder from Edubily's PURE range, you get a particularly pure, safe, and vegan product.

How Glycine Supports Your Body

Glycine is one of the most important amino acids when it comes to the construction of structural proteins in the body – especially collagen. As the main component of collagen proteins, it is essential for the stability and flexibility of connective tissue. Glycine is particularly abundant here because, as the smallest proteinogenic amino acid, it enables the characteristic spiral structure of collagen.

In addition to this structural role, glycine has been intensively researched in recent years. In the nervous system, it acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter by binding to glycine receptors, thus contributing to neuronal balance. Glycine is also involved in the formation of hemoglobin and other iron-containing proteins, plays a role in the antioxidant system as a component of glutathione, and is associated with muscle metabolic processes.

A particularly exciting research approach focuses on glycine in the context of healthy aging. Initial results from a sensational study suggest that glycine may play a regulatory role in the aging process:

"The addition of glycine for 10 days to the culture medium of the 97-year-old fibroblast cell line resulted in a restoration of mitochondrial function. This suggests that glycine treatment can reverse age-related mitochondrial defects in older human fibroblasts."

Why glycine is often missing from the diet

Glycine is becoming increasingly rare in modern diets. While edible gelatin used to be a natural source, many people today consume too little glycine. A certain biochemical calculation suggests that on average about 5 g of glycine per day may be missing from the diet.

"A detailed evaluation of all possible sources of glycine shows (...) that the daily dose available from synthesis of about 3 g/day, together with the amount available from the diet of 1.5-3.0 g/day, may be well below the amount of about 10 g/day required for all metabolic purposes, including collagen synthesis, in a 70 kg human."
