Thorne Glycine

Glycine is an essential amino acid that plays a key role in supporting the central nervous system, where it functions as one of the body’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitters. It helps promote calm, supports healthy sleep patterns, and has been shown to improve memory retrieval in individuals experiencing sleep disruption from jet lag, overwork, or other stressors.* Glycine also supports phase II liver detoxification by aiding toxin elimination and helping maintain healthy glutathione levels.* In addition, it helps modulate cytokines associated with metabolic health.*

As one of the three amino acids required for creatine production, glycine contributes to steady cellular energy for both muscle and nerve cells.* It is highly concentrated in connective tissue, making up about 30 percent of collagen. Glycine further supports digestive health by regulating bile acid synthesis for proper fat metabolism and plays a role in balancing glucose utilization during energy production.*

Suggested Use: 2 capsules, one to three times daily.*
