L-Glycine is a nonessential amino acid which can be found in protein rich food such as meat fish and dairy. It is considered the simplest amino acid in the body and is largely associated with the building of proteins.
What are the key benefits?
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that L-Glycine, when combined with a simple carbohydrate, can improve muscle growth and muscle recovery. It is thought that this combination can increase insulin sensitivity to promote a greater glucose uptake compared to ingesting glucose alone. The combination of carbohydrates and L-Glycine can result in a greater use of glucose for energy before exercise or for recovery after exercise.
L-Glycine is recognised as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and has also been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antispastic, and antipsychotic activity.
Additional information
Other studies suggest L-Glycine can improve the uptake and use of creatine by the body, which may result in greater gains in strength and muscle size.
