Glycine
How to Use It
Healthy people do not need to supplement with glycine. A physician should be consulted before supplemental glycine is used for the support of serious health conditions.
Where to Find It
Possible Deficiencies
Few people are glycine deficient, in part because the body makes its own supply of the nonessential amino acids.
