Glycine offers sleep and relaxation support and so much more in an easy-to-swallow 1000-mg capsule. Glycine is the simplest of all amino acids, possessing only one carbon atom. It can be made by the body, but since it doesnt appear to meet the bodys requirements at all times, its considered by some to be semi-essential.

It has fundamental roles in support of healthy gene expression, cellular antioxidant processes, detoxification, immune function, growth, development, metabolism and survival.
