Now Foods Glycine

Overview

Now Foods Glycine is a dietary supplement built around free-form glycine, an amino acid that plays several roles in the body. Each capsule provides this single amino acid in a form commonly used to support nervous system function and healthy sleep patterns. The formula is offered in a 100-count bottle and is described as pharmaceutical grade, non-GMO, vegetarian/vegan, and kosher.

Glycine is known as the smallest and simplest amino acid, which helps explain why it is used in so many biological processes. According to the product information, it is involved in the production of glutathione, DNA, creatine, bile, hemoglobin, and most proteins. It also contributes to glycogen storage, helping make glucose available for energy production.

In addition to its structural roles, glycine functions as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain. This makes the supplement relevant for people looking for nutritional support related to relaxation and the maintenance of normal sleep cycles. NOW Foods also notes GMP quality assurance and long-standing family ownership since 1968.
