Its side chain is a single hydrogen atom, which makes it the simplest structure of the twenty amino acids found in protein. It is classed as non-essential, meaning the body can make its own, and it is also eaten in protein foods such as meat, fish, dairy, legumes and gelatin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycine makes up roughly a third of the amino acids in collagen, the main structural protein in skin, tendons and bone. That is why gelatin and bone broth, both made from collagen, are among the richest food sources. The chemical name on many labels is aminoacetic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule holds 500 mg of glycine as its only medicinal ingredient. The non-medicinal ingredients are carbohydrate gum, magnesium stearate, rice flour, silica, stearic acid and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCapsules or powder?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitasave also carries glycine from other brands, including Life Choice L-Glycine 750 mg in capsules and AOR Glycine and CanPrev L-Glycine as loose powders.

At 2 capsules a day, this bottle gives you 1,000 mg of glycine daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults take 2 capsules a day.
