Glycine is one of the amino acids found in the body's proteins, including collagen, and forms part of protein structures in many tissues. Although it is classed as non-essential because the body produces it, glycine also comes from food. Red meat, poultry, eggs, lentils, kale and natural yoghurt are among its dietary sources, and the amount you get depends on which protein foods you eat.

The capsules give a convenient fixed amount, while the 500g powder can be stirred into water, tea or a shake.

Available in 120 caps and 500g.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
