Why Glycine?
The Filler That Actually Works
B vitamins are powerful, but they're also tiny. A single capsule could hold fifty times the amount needed, which means every B complex needs a filler to bulk it out.
Most brands use rice flour or starch - cheap, inert substances that do absolutely nothing for your body.
We use 340mg of glycine in every capsule. If we're going to fill space, it should provide real benefit.
What Is Glycine?
Glycine is an amino acid - one of the building blocks your body uses to make proteins. Your body produces some glycine naturally and gets more from protein-rich foods like meat, fish, bone broth, and leafy greens.
It's the simplest amino acid structurally, but it plays surprisingly complex roles in human biology.
Why Glycine Matters
Glycine is a key component in:
Collagen synthesis - Glycine makes up about one-third of collagen, the most abundant protein in your body. Collagen provides structure to skin, joints, bones, and connective tissues.
Glutathione production - Glycine is one of three amino acids needed to produce glutathione, a critical antioxidant your cells use for protection and detoxification.
Creatine formation - Your body uses glycine (along with other amino acids) to produce creatine, which plays a role in energy metabolism.
Neurotransmitter function - Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, which is why many people find it has a calming effect.
Common Dietary Sources
- Bone broth and gelatine
- Meat, poultry, fish, eggs
- Legumes (beans, lentils, peas)
- Leafy green vegetables
- Seeds and nuts
Our Philosophy
We believe every ingredient should justify its presence in a formula.
Rice flour takes up space. Glycine supports collagen production, glutathione synthesis, and nervous system function.
The choice was obvious.
