Most people don’t know about this powerful anti-aging secret.
Glycine is classified as a non-essential amino acid because the body can make it, but many people are still deficient. Most glycine in the diet comes from collagen, yet modern diets provide very little.
An ancestral diet included nose-to-tail eating with plenty of collagen, while today most people eat only lean, tender muscle meats. As a result, a large percentage of adults have chronically low glycine levels.
Glycine plays a critical role in red blood cell health, DNA and RNA production, bile salts, and glutathione, one of the body’s most important antioxidants. Your body prioritizes these essential functions first, which means other areas can become depleted.
Glycine is also vital for the immune system and quality sleep. When levels are low, your skin may not get enough support, contributing to visible aging. It also impacts fascia, tendons, cartilage, arteries, and the gut lining.
You don’t necessarily need a glycine supplement; just focus on increasing collagen intake instead. Add collagen to your coffee or a shake, and pair it with vitamin C to support absorption.
